The question is what they do SYRIZA and PASOK in relation to the “Dimitra” project which has been developed by Yanis Varoufakis’ MeRA25, the head of the Prime Minister’s financial office told SKAI 100.3, Alexis Patelis.

“Is there any Greek who wants to relive the adventure of 2015 to return to where we were, in the parallel currency after so much effort? I honestly don’t get it. Varoufakis does his job, he says he will do it (“Dimitra”) and those who want vote for him. The question is what SYRIZA and PASOK are doing. There is ambiguity” said Mr. Patelis characteristically.

Regarding the ND pre-election program, which is presented the day after tomorrow, Mr. Patelis said that “we really fulfilled many of our promises in 2019. The pre-election program has been worked on for many months, and we have planned it very carefully. A program must be properly studied and costed,” he stressed. As he mentioned, in 2019 the ND promised more jobs, now promises better wages, with convergence with the European m.o., but also convergence in the National Social Security System and in Education.

For the credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s, which confirmed Greece’s credit rating at BB+ and upgraded the outlook for the economy to positive from stable, explained that “we have gone one step further”.

“‘Your debt is falling’ said S&P, and Eurostat said that, the banking system is stable. “Well done you made reforms, we hope you will continue them” they say. A house, he clarified for the investment grade, is waiting for it his basic scenario to be verified, and it makes sense to wait for the elections. “With the investment grade, you enter a group of countries that are considered “more serious”. You lose the junk designation, this helps with investments, but also for many fund managers, investments in such a country (junk) are prohibited by the fund’s statutes,” noted Mr. Patelis.
