“It is closing a difficult week today with the stamp of the Tempe tragedy, as we are now in the final phase of research for this very big national trauma. There is also the reason I spoken yesterday openly and completely honestly about this issue. Otherwise, it is the justice that will judge and decide, “the prime minister said Kyriakos Mitsotakis when his introductory placement in Cabinet On Friday morning.

“For us, the current context implies only the intensity of the effort and the production of tangible work. And I think this should be the answer to both the struggles of the citizens and the second four -year data, which can mean nothing but the results of each ministry from each minister separately. This is not the first time we have come across ripples, but we will overcome them again, with the truth as a guide, “Mr Mitsotakis added, to emphasize:

“So what is needed is a call for alertness and acceleration. This means that a project that wanted a year has to be done in a few months. In the 6th year the requirements are much higher when we have decades of pathogens. We have to make a jump faster than wear. This will be the final criterion of our work. “

At the same time, the prime minister called on the members of the Council of Ministers to defend “the acquis of government stability in the times of populism”. “Another search for the causes of a national drama and another being transformed into a cheap party tool,” he noted and added:

“Wrong those who want the reasonable request for justice to make it anti -government. Parties that want to be in the European democratic arc to reflect if they feed populism. And I stop here. Again, our answer will be given to the field with measures that will improve the daily life of the citizen. “

“Alcoholic beverages will only be sold with identity demonstration – the seller will be responsible and the sentences will be strict”

Kyriakos Mitsotakis also referred to significant changes by the Minister of Development for Development Law to overcome the record of 519 investments of 2024. and a number of unemployed we have been seeing since 2008. With the new arrangements we simplify the processes, “the prime minister said.

He also made a separate reference to the Legislative Intervention of the Ministry of Education through the Vocational Training Academies that links entrepreneurship with education and specialization in employment.

At the same time, he noted “the joint initiative of the Ministries of Education and Foreign Affairs for 600 clergy in the Greek -speaking Patriarchates over the next 3 years”.

“We will also talk about the measures to shield young people against alcohol and cigarettes. Our goal is to be sure that alcoholic beverages will only be sold with an identity. The seller will be responsible and the sentences will be strict. It is an important demand of the times that come from society as we have highlighted the issues of young people’s addiction from the internet, ”the prime minister concluded.

Prime Minister’s introductory placement

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen,

It closes today a difficult week, with the stamp of the Tempe tragedy, as we are now in the final phase of research for this very big national trauma. It is, after all, the reason I spoke openly yesterday and most of all sincerely about this issue.

Otherwise, it is justice that will judge and decide, and, as I have said many times, the government and the government majority remain ready to formulate its positions in the House at all times, but obviously in society.

For us, however, this current context only one duty implies: the intensity of our work and the production of tangible work. And I think this should be our answer to both the struggles of the citizens and the second four -year data, which in turn can mean nothing more than having more results in each ministry and every minister. separately.

You know, this is not the first time we come across ripples. But we will overcome them again, with the truth and action guide. What, then, is needed today is an overall call for alertness and acceleration. And this in turn means that a project that might take a year to do, now has to be implemented in a few months.

Look, let’s not have illusions, in the sixth year of governance the difficulties are serious and the demands of the citizens are justified, much more when we know that we have both opponents, problems and decades of pathogens.

Our bet doesn’t change. We are called upon to make a jump faster than wear. This is always that we have to keep in our minds. Consequently, this will also be the final criterion for evaluating our work.

However, having another parallel debt, in times of populism, to defend the acquis of political stability. Because it is another search for the causes of a national drama and another to transform it into a “cheap” party tool.

And all those who believe that the absolutely reasonable demand for truth and justice will make it exclusively into a request that is anti -government. Whereas, parties that want to belong to the constitutional and European arc is time to think about whether their attitude ultimately feeds populism, demagogy and blind anti -systemism.

I stop here, and again that our own answer to the field will be given by measures that will constantly improve the daily life of the citizen.

From the issues we have to discuss today, to start with the significant changes that the Minister of Development will recommend on development law, in order to cross the 510 million and 219 million aid last year. Investments mean new jobs, mean stimulating the local market, contributing to national development.

And of course, I would like to point out this opportunity to point out the recent, very encouraging elements that have been released, with unemployment, with unemployment falling in December to 9.4% and with a number of unemployed 443,000. , a number which, if I’m not mistaken, we had to see since 2008.

That is why with the new arrangements we simplify more business initiatives, giving weight to production, exports, new technologies, providing even more incentives for border areas but also for areas struck by natural disasters, such as Thessaly.

Make a separate reference to the legislative intervention of the Ministry of Education, which is also linked to development and work through Vocational Training Academies. With annexes, that is, public schools that will be able to engage with chambers, businesses, linking entrepreneurship with education and specialization in employment. A big critical bet, that of vocational training, which we need to win.

And, of course, yet another joint initiative of the Ministries of Education and Foreign Affairs, which will work together in a three -year depth to appoint 600 clergymen in the Greek -speaking Patriarchates. As you can see, an initiative of great, of great national importance.

Finally, we will also talk about the measures of the Ministry of Health with the aim of shielding our young people from alcohol and tobacco, alcoholic beverages. Yes, the Ministry of Education also has a reason, at least in terms of students’ education.

Our goal here is to be sure that alcoholic beverages will only be sold by demonstration, as is the case abroad. The seller will be responsible, whether trading or serving a dining center, and the penalties will be strict.

But I think it’s something that seasons require. I don’t think it’s just one, I would say, still legislative intervention, but an important demand of the times that come from society.

As we have highlighted the issues of young people’s addiction on the internet, we are also called upon to face this today’s reality, which needs legislative and substantive intervention.

We will discuss this today, so we can start our meeting.
