The questions to the prime minister
The first question concerns the package of measures announced yesterday. How will you convince the citizens that yesterday’s announcements will be implemented?
-Kyriakos Mitsotakis: The first question concerns our credibility, our work speaks for itself, I don’t think there are citizens who question it. The reason we are able to support the economy and society has to do with high growth rates. The fiscal space is created to support society. All European governments will do the same. The measures taken are in line with the objectives. Those who accuse us of giving too much, if we left society unprotected the result would be worse. During covid we were proven right in this approach. The basic data, Greece will present the largest reduction in public debt. The goals are achievable.
To the question of Yannis Kantelis, from Sky, about the electoral law: Will you change the electoral law?
– It is true that I have received such suggestions, but I am not a slob, the rules must be firm. In the elections with the passed electoral law. It puts the bar at 37%-38%. I prefer to spend my energy on persuading citizens. There is no question of changing the electoral law, unless SYRIZA comes and accepts and we agree together to change the electoral law. I believe that this will not happen, I am almost certain that we will proceed with the existing electoral law, without change or adjustment. I have built a relationship of trust with the citizens. I am not willing to mortgage this relationship.
