“Another large and recognized house improves the investment profile and gives us the investment grade. The fact that investment houses are coming that their own investors listen to and give us the investment grade, significantly improves the country’s potential to attract investments”, Minister of State Makis Voridis said to SKAI and the show “Kalimera” with Giorgos Autias .

“The country until September was not an investment. That is changing now. It is important for investments, for the de-escalation of interest rates, for savings. This government has maintained fiscal stability. Governmental and political stability, combined with this government’s commitment to ensuring fiscal surpluses and fiscal stability, create the conditions for favorable ratings,” added Mr. Voridis.

Referring to the statement St. Kasselakis on the evaluation of the country by Standard & Poors, the Minister of State commented: “It is clear and obvious the confusion and speechlessness of the official opposition because we have increased the number of workers and spending in the Health sector. The same has been done after years, tens of thousands of teacher recruitments. In income, there is a clear increase in income from the reductions in tax rates, with the increase in the minimum wage and now the increase in the pay of civil servants after 14 years.”

“It is obvious that what has happened with the result of the parliamentary elections, which happened in the sharpest way in the self-governing elections. And in the self-governing elections, the decision of the Greek people, which rejects the proposals of the official opposition, is ratified. SYRIZA did not even manage to finish second in the municipal elections, in many cases it came fourth. Perhaps some believed that the election of a new leader would also bring new air to the party, it is clear that not only is no new air coming, but the crisis inside the official opposition is intensifying, the tensions are becoming greater,” he added.

“The defeat of the left has strategic characteristics. This means that their basic ideas and opinions are rejected. This cannot be solved by changing the leader,” he stressed.
