For a budget of political, economic and social stability, which will allow Greek citizens to enter 2025 with greater optimism than last year, but above all with greater security, spoke from the floor of the Parliament, the Member of Parliament of Chania of the ND, Dora Bakoyannis.

In her speech on the state budget 2025, Mrs. Bakoyannis pointed out that the world around us is changing rapidly and for the worse: “The world is in turmoil. And no one can predict what the new American President will actually do after January 20th. Within this environment, Greece is an oasis of stability, not only at the regional, but also at the European level. Especially if one takes into account that the two great locomotives of Europe, Germany and France are in crisis. In Germany, thousands of workers fear layoffs from car manufacturers and the German economy is flirting with recession. In France, the government is being sought and mainly the votes that will support a government for only 30 months are being sought. The spreads of France and Italy have passed the spreads of Greece” noted Mrs. Bakoyannis.

Addressing her seats oppositionthe former minister said that they must change their narrative, “because this trade of misery that we have been watching for 6 years has finally had no response to the Greek people. I heard these days from the official opposition that all things are going wrong. We’re thinking wrong. We plan wrong. We’re implementing it wrong. I honestly wonder. If we live in the same country. And in the same country whether we lived for the last 15 years or you suddenly fell, dear colleagues from heaven yesterday. The Greek people know the difficulties and they are indeed many. But he does not forget that we came out of a ten-year memorandum. It is not a coincidence that the whole world and in any case two of the most serious and largest newspapers in the world talk about the economic miracle of Greece and bring us as an example. The same newspapers which five years ago blasted Greece and presented it as the black sheep of Europe”.

Ms. Bakoyannis, who cited the improved economic indicators, noted that to the question of whether “have we finished the job?” he replied “No. We have a lot of work to do. Yes, we need to increase the national income which is our national target, but we are well on our way to do it” [. . .] We need to fight red tape and delays and press on even more vigorously. And we have to do it because we owe this to the Greek people, said Ms. Bakoyannis, who called on the government to support the Foreign Ministry’s budget more.
