Oikonomou to SKAI: Greece does not threaten but neither is threatened nor blackmailed

by

Greece is in absolute readiness, absolute effectiveness to react to every challenge and threat, the government representative emphasized

“The government has proven that every opportunity given by the economy is used to stand by society. Greek citizens have embedded in their daily lives that they pay less taxes, lower insurance contributions. They consolidate a policy that utilizes every advantage, every positive result of the economy and is returned as a social dividend to the citizens”, said the government representative Yiannis Oikonomou to SKAI and the show “Kalimera” with Giorgos Autias.

“Politics is connected with the need to be on the side of society in a period when difficulties do not cease to exist. It has nothing to do with the pre-election period but with a plan so that the citizen can feel the state on his side when there is a need. The point is to have a policy that can produce wealth to distribute it correctly to people, not to widen dead ends and load greater burdens on the backs of society. The goal of the next period is to increase people’s incomes, earnings,” added the government representative.

Referring to the drilling in Crete and Erdogan’s threats, Mr. Economou emphasized that “our planning for the drilling is progressing. It is a plan based on international law, well thought out, weighed, to allow the country to exploit every possibility in order to increase our wealth. Greece today is a very powerful country. Our motherland, Greece, does not accept hints and threats about the way in which it will exercise its foreign policy, its sovereignty policy and its sovereign rights. Greece is not a country that threatens, is neither threatened nor intimidated. At the same time, we are adamant about our sovereignty and sovereign rights. Greece is in absolute readiness, absolute efficiency to react to every challenge and threat”.

On the increase in the minimum wage, the government spokesman argued that the increase “will in any case be neither pretentious nor negligible. The Prime Minister is fully aware of the need to increase the wages and salaries of minimum wage earners. As perceived by our government as a whole. The big bet of the next period is to converge wages and incomes with the EU average. The bet of the next period is to increase wages and incomes for all Greeks.”
