The Minister of Interior, Makis Voridis, spoke about a proper treatment of the pandemic, speaking to SKAI and the show “Simera”.
“We are marginally below the European average in terms of vaccinations. A spectacular performance compared to the other Balkan countries. “I consider that significant efforts are being made to improve the increase of the percentages and in terms of the management of the pandemic, that the government has kept the right line”, the Minister stated characteristically
As he commented, the key is in the vaccination to stop the pandemic, which is why the government rejects the scenarios for lockdown, he noted.
He also referred to the possibility of imposing a mandatory testing in view of the holidays, noting that he has no information about the measure, but explained what the government’s reasoning is: “The thoughts that exist are mainly about Omicron, we are trying to slow it down. , to have an increase in vaccinated so that we can deal with it much better because the problem is, it seems, its rapid spread. What is the time when there will be a lot of increased aggregation? New Year’s Eve outside. There, with this measure, a space is sealed and it becomes safer “.
He even pointed out that the government is currently not considering any additional measures due to the Omicron variant.
On the issue of accuracy, he said that it is not a national phenomenon but an imported one and it depends on factors that can not be controlled. “Efforts have been made and interventions have been made with measures that have been announced. The pressure on households is energy, but also due to rising product prices in supermarkets. “Energy growth will be extended to other sectors.”
Finally, he criticized SYRIZA, describing the request for elections as “politically insignificant” when, as he said, there is a difference of 12 points (as polls show) between the government and the opposition.
