Her issue accuracy but also her operation of the market they largely occupied today’s closed briefing provided to the ND parliamentary group by Takis Theodorikakos in the context of the cycle of meetings held by the administrations of the ministries with the majority.

“The effort to strengthen the disposable income of citizens and to address the problems related to the cost of living of citizens is a priority for the entire Government”pointed out the Minister from the peristyle, coming to the Parliament, adding that it is a “substantial discussion and exchange of views, mainly around every issue within the competence of the Ministry”.

However, the meeting was not uneventful, as according to information moans were heard from Giorgos Vlachos for the profit ceiling accompanied by sweeping controls at all stages of the market. Mr. Theodorikakos reportedly asked Mr. Vlachos to organize a meeting at the ministry to exchange proposals. “I have told the prime minister. We will meet at the parliamentary control”the MP allegedly replied to him.

According to information, there was also criticism from Mr. Ypsilantis for the high prices of ferry tickets, requesting the reinstatement of the reduced VAT on the islands. THE Dimitris Markopoulos asked for the reconstitution of the Ministry of Commerce, underlining that it is not right in a time of such great pressure that the issue of prices should be in a ministerial superstructure with parallel duties. “We will have to see how the competition will work. To create a large basket of 100 basic items for the citizen and every month to publish a ranking of the cheapest supermarkets. Let the consumer know who supports him”, the MP is reported to have pointed out.

Yiannis Pappas and Thanasis Kavvadas also allegedly criticized the accuracy.

After the update is finished in his statements outside the peristyle Mr. Theodorikakos stated that it was an “extremely useful discussion with great participation and many thoughts. The main topic is the presentation of the positions for productive reconstruction of the country on how to become more competitive and productive. I am satisfied with the discussion today. The policy we are following is approved, the whole nexus of policies was discussed. We fight battles to tame them with prices.

Regarding the accuracy and criticism of Mr. Vlachos regarding accuracy, Takis Theodorikakos commented: “There was a very substantial discussion with ideas and opinions that were familiar to me because we had discussed with colleagues! The criticism and opinions of colleagues are positive and legitimate.”

Asked if Mr. Vlachos will go to his office, he replied: “Oh, I don’t know. There were 80 MPs here, they all come to my office.”
