They look forward to the positive impact of the transition from announcements of aid measures to their implementation governmentwho believe that the current and the next period will be decisive in order to capture the real impact of what was announced just before the holidays and is starting to be implemented gradually. “Now the citizens will begin to experience in practice what has been announced” says a typical government official and adds that the tax reductions announced last month and, above all, the new housing program will be implemented in everyday life. “My House 2”for which there is great interest as 20,000 beneficiaries will be given the opportunity to acquire their first home with a low-interest loan.

The government leadership will seek to demonstrate that at a time when the opposition is spent on promises, there is a plan and implementation of policies that respond to the concerns of the citizens, always based on the potential of the economy and the return to the citizens of the profits from proper fiscal management .

On the basis of the “projects versus words” argument, the government will also move against the proposal for primary production and the agricultural sector announced by the president of PASOK, Nikos Androulakis. “We are waiting for the question that Mr. Androulakis and we will pick up the gauntlet”, the Prime Minister’s staff informs. In particular, the government is expected to point out that in recent years important political interventions have been made to strengthen primary production and address problems in the agricultural sector. There is talk of backlogs that have been delayed for decades and are now being addressed.

It is no coincidence, as reported, that at the moment there is no movement for new mobilizations.

Based on this framework, the government leadership is expected to blame the PASOK for a nihilistic approach to the problems of a critical sector for the economy. “We, for our part, are ready to listen to the proposals that will be submitted and if there is something positive, we have no problem adopting it”, state the same government sources.
