About the main reforms of the government that – as he said – change the country’s image for the better, and for the initiatives taken to strengthen the middle class, as well as the demands of the government spokesman, the Deputy Minister of State spoke to Paul Marinakisin an interview.

At the same time, he sent a message of optimism to the middle class, saying that he must wait for the announcement of favorable measures by Prime Minister Mr. Mitsotakis at the TIF. Speaking on the online show “After I speak”, Mr Marinakis referred to the government’s reforms, and stressed that they have much to do. “The worst you can do is celebrate »he said And it referred to five specific reforms: the treatment of tax evasion and the reduction of tax rates, the digital state, security in universities and non -state universities.

Referring to the security of universities said: “By 2019 when we took over, whatever was done at a university, the police could not get in. Now, dozens of discharge of occupations are being made, offenders are arrested. Obviously the enemy of the good is the best, but for the first time – we see the obvious, over 60 discharge. It’s a step. Clicking on it, which has not been done for 45 years in Greece, where whatever was done at universities was without impact, pressing on a major success, we are going to do something immediately, the Minister of Education, Sofia Zacharakis said. We will put more sanctions. “

Speaking about non -state universities, he said that 4.5 years ago, on a trip he had also seen his non -state universities and public universities and was ashamed. And explained:

“And why were I ashamed? For the country where we have missed so many opportunities for 20 years. And the world is not to blame, the political system is to blame. Remember the years of the late Marietta Giannakou, under Karamanlis government. When PASOK was dumb, he turned 180 degrees to talk and understand the world and lost billions, we lost students. Cyprus with non -state universities has also upgraded the public. They were upgraded. And will you tell me, do we do for the public? We have doubled the funding and together with the public, come and collaborate with the largest foreign universities. It is worth seeing this, because we say things as they are. I inform you that now huge universities, such as Yale, Columbia with public universities, will come together every year. This is very important. And the non -states to exist are positive. Why are we and Cuba the exception? Why does a young child who want to study at a non -state university, have to go abroad? So far 13 applications for non -state universities have been made. The system is constantly open. And one to come, which is not only one, the beginning will control them, success is. ”

Referring to dealing with tax evasion He said it is a chronic problem that no one has managed to face while the ND government is making progress.

“Based on the data, the state has received 2 billion, not from taxes above, but from tax evasion and 1.5 billion more than a decrease in unemployment,” he said, adding in the context of dealing with tax evasion, “we had 12 interventions.” A coffee – for example – with 10 waiters, who are with the minimum wage and you declare under the minimum wage. “He added:” So all these people, the housewives, the freelancers, have put Pos, they have now, we have a 72 They need it. And we will do it with the money that exists. “

Mr. Marinakis also talked about the needs of the middle class saying that he himself belongs there. “You talk to you, who is in the middle class, and even many comments write to me after they don’t know me:” What do you need? “, Etc. I am in the middle class and I am very proud of my partners, my friends. And I know, however, that I am talking to people who are much more difficult than me. “he said.

Asked if tax reduction measures are announced in fuel and focus on TIF Mr. Marinakis referred to the reductions of 72 taxes made by the government and sent a message of optimism to the middle class. “So, as we did the previous ones, with the money, which we have found we will do the next. ‘So the answer is’ yes’. To wait for the middle class at the TIF, because we have to see the middle class. We need to look at these people, who have endured all these years and following the taxes we have reduced, we will reduce more taxes. And I will say more and more with more emphasis on even the younger ones, with greater emphasis on those who have one, two, three children or more. Because now we who did the first child and thank God and from the law firm and for the years all that we have been working on, we are a little better. I don’t want to know how many people are listening to us right now, how many moms who work and raise a child can make both second and third. We’ve done for moms too … I’ll say an example. A mom until 2020 was born and only got 850 euros. This mom, a freelance professional farmer, now takes the minimum wage for 9 months. From 800 euros, that is, it receives 9 euros on the minimum wage plus 2,000 euros. This was not the moms. And maternity licenses have increased and they get about 10,000. And I say it again … are you raising a kid with 10,000 euros? Do you solve your problems? No. We were at zero. So I said about the apartment building. We have not become Sweden or Luxembourg. The world is rightly moaning. But we improved ».

Finally, he referred to the duties of a government spokesman, saying that the prerequisite is the good information and knowledge of the current news.
