“During the first quarter of 2024, approximately 175,000 surgical operations were carried out, a number that not only restores the previous standards, but significantly exceeds them in relation to the year 2019, while he added that 6,500 recruitments are progressing within the year, as well as being implemented through the Fund Recovery renovations in 80 hospitals and 156 health centers”.

Afterwards, Mr. Marinakis also referred to Eurostat’s announcement on inflation, which “recorded a significant drop from 3.2% in April to 2.3% in May and is at the lowest level since September 2021” .

“Greece has the 6th lowest inflation in the Eurozone. It is noted that, on the contrary, in the eurozone the harmonized inflation increased from 2.4% in April to 2.6% in May. Food inflation, which directly affects households, also recorded a fall. As estimated by the European Statistical Service, in Greece it decreased from 4.8% to 2.4%, at the lowest level since July 2021”.

With reference to the third cycle of the “Moving Electric” program with a budget of 33 million euros, he pointed out that this concerns the subsidy for the purchase of electric cars, motorcycles, tricycles and bicycles by natural and legal persons, with the ministry having paid the subsidy to 7,772 beneficiaries, with the amount of more than 26.1 million euros, for the purchase of an electric vehicle. It is planned, on June 5, to pay an additional 478 requests, amounting to 1.8 million euros.

“The main feature of the new Program is the introduction of an increased maximum subsidy for natural persons, to 9,000 euros, which if combined with the increase in the subsidy for the retirement of an old vehicle, which is now 2,000 euros, the total amount reaches 11,000 euros. The subsidy is increased for our fellow citizens with disabilities, those with many children, as well as young people up to 29 years old,” he said.

“One-page Excel what Mr. Kasselakis presented yesterday – The prime minister does not even own 4 properties”

In question about the where are you from and its presentation on Monday night by the president of SYRIZA, Mr. Marinakis characterized it as a “one-page Excel”, which came to the public “after palinades”.

As he noted, “the declaration of assets is a specific procedure, which requires specific supporting documents and specific evidence”, adding that Stefanos Kasselakis should have left the foreign company.

“When referring to income or loans, one must be specific. It is a given that a simple reading does not yield the numbers. If you look at his loan obligations, deposits, investment products, even his helicopter lifestyle. It’s not hell like that, but of course there is a mismatch.”

In addition, the government representative responded to SYRIZA’s accusations of real estate and property status of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, even calling on the official opposition to say specifically “which exactly are the prime minister’s 40 houses”.

“The prime minister does not have 40 properties, not even 4. Therefore, this discussion is nothing more than a childish distraction.”

“ND Releases Balance Sheet Every Year – Mr. Greenberg Paid With Legal Contract Filed”

At the same time, Pavlos Marinakis gave clarifications about both online campaign of New Democracy, as well as for the professional relationship of Piraeus with Mr. Greenberg.

“What we spend is completely transparent, ND publishes its balance sheet every year. It is our personal choice that our campaign takes place online, at the same time that other parties of the Left are printing posters and filling the streets, polluting the environment.”

Regarding Mr. Greenberg, the government representative emphasized that “he is paid with a contract signed and deposited, with a specific time horizon and a specific fee through remittances and invoices issued monthly.”

“So what was an internationally renowned communicator to do? Illegal?’ concluded in high tones.
