“In the framework of the annual planning, this has been established by this government, to have a planning for each year. The priorities come in, the things that need to be done, the things that maybe weren’t done the previous year, for various reasons, political and so on. Therefore, the blue envelopes, as they have remained, reflect the priorities, essentially in the issues that have to do with the economy, society, in particular issues that concern each ministry, in particular issues that concern all of us, the roof, water management” he emphasized the deputy minister instead of the prime minister Thanasis Kontogeorgis talking on his television .

As said by Mr. Kontogeorgis, the economy and the factors that affect the cost of living are among the government’s priorities, as well as housing. “Yesterday, a program was announced by the armed forces for the officers of the armed forces, which will also serve civil servants. In 15 days, “My House II” will be released, already 10,000 people have entered homes. Another 20,000 will enter in the next period and of course we will give incentives, as you know, to open and renovate some houses so that they “fall” on the market. This will help, we will see the result in the next period,” the deputy minister told the prime minister.

According to Mr. Kontogeorgi, there are also issues that cannot be seen. “You asked me which ones we consider top, which are obviously not immediately visible to the citizens, not visible, but they have great value. I mean, for me if you ask me 2025 is a year water. Year of water because we need an overall plan that we are working on for water management. Already yesterday the minister, Mr. Skylakakis, presented a restructuring framework for drinking water, i.e. essentially for Municipal companies”.

As far as privatization scenarios are concerned, Mr. Kontogeorgis said: “That’s it, this government has brought it back. her EYDAPunder state control. It’s a serious issue and that’s why we work systematically not to have losses, there is the issue of water scarcity but at the same time to connect water with production”.

When asked about the “rating of the ministers”, he said that the evaluation is done by the prime minister, and he has shown that he is making the appropriate moves to have a good climate, he emphasized that the enemy is the problems, he said that the government is an island of stability in an unstable environment , while admitting that some issues being addressed could be done better “and that’s why we’re working, and we’ll do the fund in 2027.”

Mr. Kontogeorgis also said that in April there will be increases in the introductory salary in the public sector, and he emphasized that the incentives given to the remote areas started to work.

Finally, when asked about the granting of citizenship to the former royal family, he said that what the opposition says about the granting of citizenship to the former royal family has no relation to reality, which he characterized as a formal and bureaucratic issue.
