His comment on the Increases in the salary of uniforms ‘Uploaded’ to Facebook Kyriakos Mitsotakisreferring to a “fair wage reform”.

More specifically the Prime Minister’s comment:

“From April 1st, a fair wage reform has begun for all Armed Forces executives. Not as a mere financial measure. But as a minimal expression of gratitude to the unshakable guards of freedom and independence of the homeland.

The uniforms will see significant increases in their earnings, ranging from 13% to more than 20%, depending on their degree, past service and responsibilities. Combined with our other initiatives, this investment will reach 268,000,000 euros. This is without threatening the fiscal balance, as these resources are secured by the new armed forces structure and the European flexibility we have achieved for defense spending.

Efforts, of course, do not stop there. Soon in Parliament we will also present the 12 -year program of national defense spending. Because there is no social progress and prosperity without security and national independence. “
