The prime minister emphasized that issues of equal opportunities are a very important priority for the government, as they are issues at the core of a fair society.
“As important as national policies are, I think there is recognition from the disability movement that for the first time there is a national strategy for people with disabilities with individual actions and with a coordination of many ministries, just as important is the mobilization of society of citizens, local self-government and the self-organization of people who can exert influence at the local level in order to improve their quality of life,” said Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in the discussion with citizens as part of the “Equal Opportunities at Work” Conference.
He noted that a lot still needs to be done in the field of rehabilitation and added “we have national successes in the Paralympic field and which we must recognize as they are the result of the individual effort of everyone and I think the creation of the Paralympic center in Rafina will be a victory for the Paralympic movement ».
In addition, the prime minister referred to the institution of the personal assistant, which, as he said, is one of the major sections adopted and is just as important for the individual as for his family.
The prime minister also said that the government has a national strategy for LGBTI+ people and noted that important interventions have been implemented so that this strategy can be implemented in practice and not just a text of principles and positions.
He noted that he had found it inconceivable that a homosexual could not donate blood and referred to the importance of diversity in productivity.
It’s something we found in practice, said the prime minister, noting that teams that can work with different stimuli significantly improve their productivity.
We have a national strategy for the inclusion of the Roma in social and economic life, said Kyriakos Mitsotakis, emphasizing that a necessary condition for their participation in the benefit policy is that the children should go to school.
Finally, he referred to the government’s policies to strengthen the family, such as the 2,000 euros for each new child, nurseries, the institution of neighborhood nannies and all-day school.
In conclusion, the prime minister emphasized that issues of equal opportunities are a very important priority for the government, as they are issues at the core of a fair society.
