“That’s why I sent the letter to the president of the Commission. We ask for Europe’s help to deal with the issue of accuracy in a European and transparent manner. Quite simply, there is no magic solution.”

Regarding her opposition, the prime minister reiterated that SYRIZA has not changed at all. “Only in a wrapper has this happened, but it maintains the same combination of toxicity, populism and money trees that drove us into bankruptcy,” to add:

“Whoever proposes anything that deprives the budget of resources, must publicly tell us where he will find the money. Mr Kasselakis is currently proposing measures worth over €44 billion, such as zero VAT on food. The specific proposals are X, but I do not reject all the proposals of the opposition.

New wave of tax reductions in 2025, with a further reduction in employer contributions

“Each interview with Mr. Kasselakis costs a few billions”

Referring again to the president of SYRIZA, Kyriakos Mitsotakis observed that the promises for a 13th and 14th salary belong to the context of a new “money exists” of Stefanos Kasselakis, who “every interview he grants costs our country a few billion euros”.

“I believe that in the end we will not need to denounce the Prespa Agreement”, Kyriakos Mitsotakis clearly emphasized.

“The way he treated the elected mayor of Heimarra was unacceptable. Anything that poisons the relations between the two peoples is not good. Let Mr. Rama know that there are rules for its European course and respect for the law is one of the main pillars.”

“The argument for the 41% is offensive”

Asked about the European electionsthe prime minister noted:

“We didn’t grab this percentage, the people gave it to us, that’s why we rolled up our sleeves from the first moment. We are criticized by those who have never been elected anywhere. I will defend the legalization we got because we told the truth.”
