In a difficult economic situation where household budgets are under pressure, young couples must be supported, the Minister of Social Cohesion and Family emphasized to SKAI 100.3 Sophia Zacharakisin view of the announcements of the new measures to support young families today at 11 am by herself and the Minister of Finance, Kostis Hatzidakis.

As mentioned by Mrs. Zaharaki, the 2,000 euros remain for each birth and are reinforced, while for twins the amount is double. He added at the same time that the birth allowance comes to be added to the child allowance given by OPECA.

The issue of supporting young families is at the top of the government’s priorities.

The prime minister had already given the stamp from Davos on Friday morning, saying: “We want to especially support young families, families with children. We are particularly concerned about the reduction of the Greek population. So this is an area that is a priority for us.

How do we support families? How do we support people who are forced to rent now that rents are rising? This is a key priority for my government and you can expect various measures to be announced in this direction very soon,” said Mr. Mitsotakis speaking to Bloomberg.
