The prime minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, refers to the maternity allowance, with a new video on TikTok pointing out that with the new initiative, Greece is now ranked second among all OECD countries in terms of maternity support.

In particular, Mr. Mitsotakis emphasizes “two days ago the relevant platform was opened and all mothers, regardless of where they work, receive state support for nine months”, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis points out in his new post on the maternity allowance.

The Prime Minister’s full post:

“In less than 1 minute before the pleasure to tell you an absurdity: If a woman became a mother and was a civil servant, she received maternity allowance for 9 months, if she was a private employee for 6 months and they were self-employed for three and a half months.

Why this was happening is not the time to explain.

But we decided to change it, because supporting the demographic is our first priority.

Two days ago the relevant platform was opened and all nannies, regardless of where they work, receive state support for nine months.

Add to this the birth allowance, which has increased from 2,000 to 2,400 euros up to 3,500 euros and is even retroactive.

This practically means that young families get 1,000 euros per month for nine months.

Somehow Greece is now ranked second among all OECD countries in terms of maternity support and this is certainly a distinction that makes us very proud.”
