On his TV and in “Today» with them Dimitris Oikonomou and Akis Pavlopoulos the Minister of Justice was invited on Thursday morning, George Floridis, who also spoke about the prime minister’s interview Kyriakou Mitsotakis to Alpha.

“There is the Greek society with its problems and these are very specific, as they are defined every time and are highlighted every time the measurements are taken. Those of us in the neighborhood and in the coffee shop, we don’t need any measurement, we understand there that the world has very specific problems”, initially commented Mr. Floridis, adding that “the government is trying to deal with these problems, in order to relieve the people and help them improve their lives, this is the destination of every government”.

“Suddenly, while we have this social and economic environment and the government’s effort with a thousand sufferings but with several successes to respond to the world’s problems, an attempt has been made for a long time to create an artificial crisis, with a background that does not exist. What was that background? That the country and the government appear regressive in defending national issues and we were all trying to understand where this comes from. I cannot know the moods of the one who causes all this.”

At the same time, the minister also referred to how much the country has equipped itself compared to previous years, which has led to an upgrade in the field of national defense, while all the forces are ready for war at any time.

“Meanwhile, the government has also changed the national doctrine. In other words, if we are hit somewhere, we will not only go there, but we will have pre-selected 10 targets that when we are hit somewhere, we will hit another 10 and whatever will be done. They know this on the other side. So they tried us for 2 months in the eastern Mediterranean, they saw that we are not backing down, they packed up and left. As in Evros, there was not a second when the government did not show determination. On the other hand, they can say whatever they want, we only have one issue to discuss, the continental shelf and the EEZ.”

“Deposits have increased by €50 billion. – We received €800 million. from the reduction of interest rates that we throw into everyday life”

In response to a question about whether the former prime minister was correctly deleted Antonis Samaras from the ND, he pointed out that he could never participate as a minister in a government of traitors, “so what Mitsotakis did actually protected me, my dignity as a minister, his ministers, his deputies, the people who support the faction and of course all Greeks”.

Finally, regarding the complaints that the government “loses in everyday life”, Mr. Floridis noted that there are data showing that the economy is in order. “The first is that the deposits have increased by 50 billion euros, that is, all the deposits we lost when SYRIZA went to shake our horses, have been recovered, with 3/4 of the deposits concerning households. Second, consumption has strengthened. Thirdly, we have good ratings from outside and that depends on what interest rates we will borrow. What does this have to do with the world? Since the last upgrade, when we got investment grade, we have received 800 million euros from the reduction in interest rates, which we throw into everyday life.”
