Answers to the developments on the flow of flows to Crete, as well as the initiatives taken by the government at foreign policy, was given by government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis in the fifth, in a row, “briefing for citizens”.

In addition, it was mentioned on the next day of enforcement dictatorial by the Trump government to the European Union, to 1.5 billion euros which has stated by the Minister of National Economy and Finance, Kyriakos Pierrakakis, that it will be the TIF’s “package” and the main recipients of the measures announced by the Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

Mr. Marinakis talked about the 24 -hour operation of public transport, eternal students and developments on the case of agricultural subsidies through OPECEPEwhile he did not hesitate to answer other questions, with summer note, that was put on him.

For the migratory noted that our country, compared to last year, overall, has fewer arrivalsBut there is a point and significant problem south of Crete from North Africa.

“We didn’t stay there with crossed hands. We immediately took a legislative initiative, which unfortunately was not embraced by either the opposition or by many other parties. First, it is initially suspended for three months to examine asylum applications from the countries of North Africa. The second is to create a closed structure in Crete and of course a comprehensive further tightening, in a very fair way, I consider the legislation on illegal immigrants. To put it in a nutshell, in Greece any illegal immigrant – whether illegal entrance, but even illegal stay, stay in the country – will know that he will be in prison, because these sentences will not be able to suspend. The only way not to be in prison is to leave Greece. Many argue that this is a rigorous, harsh, “inhumane” policy. First, I think those who say it from the political system call it safe. They say it to say something. They say it to represent the humanists. Because they actually have nothing to counter. And the second, politics, are policies that work. Already last week, the first that this initiative was implemented, due to weather conditions, had almost eliminated flows to Crete. So we will continue to be effective and let us call some people as they want. “he stressed.

For the criticism citing the government’s attitude on foreign policy issues pointed out: “I think the opposite is true. What Greece has accomplished at the level of foreign policy in the days of Kyriakos Mitsotakis has not succeeded for decades. Greece, these six years, has sign EEZ with Italy and Egypt. Greece, these six years, It was expanded from 6 to 12 nautical miles in the Ionian Sea. Greece, in these years of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, has proceeded and implements the most important equipment programs: Rafale, Belharra, programs we could not even imagine in previous years. Greece has succeeded and has starred in all the major discussions. In the recovery fund we got the most money from any other country in Europe, as a result of our GDP. What is it that Greece has “lost” these years? What is it that at least discussed? Nothing. The marine spatial planning, with the seal of Europe: We are securing the country’s ultimate potential boundaries. OR ExxonMobil and Chevron come and They are investigating in Greece. Two American giants in the energy field. When did these do? Let me tell you very simply what is going on? Greece causes action and action resulting. Action with imprint. Action that will remain for the coming years. Action that grows it, strengthens it. The action causes a reaction. And if on the one hand the action is solid steps, recognized by Europe and the whole world and reaction are the movements of spasmodic countries that have no substance, put them in the scales and see what the truth is. Caution, because in our country, especially in the last period, More and more professionals are circulating. Especially in foreign policy issues we do not play and will not allow anyone to play with them. “

To a question about them duties that the government imposed Trump in the European Unionthe government spokesman replied: “There is no doubt that imposing duties is something that is detrimental to both sides. It is an ongoing negotiation between the European Union and the United States of America. We want to believe it will have the best possible outcome. “

About ‘piggy bank»Her imminent TIF underlined: “So it’s time to say how much money we will give to TIF, 1.5 billion euros. The Minister of Finance, Kyriakos Pierrakakis, has also said this in Parliament the previous days. These money came from the treatment of tax evasion, from job creation. Because a man who was unemployed and is not paid with the unemployment benefit and now pays taxes – and not increased taxes – and contributions, gives the state and the growth of the economy. We will give this money to the middle class, mainly, and we will support the average Greek family before and above all, yes, yes, we have reduce 72 direct and indirect taxesbut We need to reduce other taxes. The world needs it, society and we will do it. “

To the question of whether has been doing something serious; An important issue on holiday replied: “I’ll take you about seven years back. When I was on vacation with my wife, we hadn’t got married in Chania yet. We had a great time and the head of the law firm I was working on then called me that a customer of the office was arrested in Heraklion. So I got into the car, I went to Heraklion. Fortunately I had a shirt and a pants with me in luggage. Fortunately all went well. I came back quickly and the holidays continued. “

For the 24 -hour operation of public transport Mr. Marinakis said: ‘The goal is to fixed him September This 24 -hour public transport operation once a week. Encouraging items from the first application. One I will tell you that the number of passengers exceeded the 50,000 only on this one day of pilot application“

To the question “What are the students to blame and you delete them?” replied: “Absolutely nothing. And the measure is not vindictivebut There can be no serious universityin no serious country in the world, that no one knows that There is a time of study. In no evaluation, one can now take a university seriously, which one can be a student even after World War II. Two hundred ninety thousand inactive, “eternal” students deleted. And it’s late, I’ll say. From then on, a second chance is given to about 35,000 students, who have shown interest that they want to complete their studies. In short, the last two years have participated in at least two examinations and at least 75% of their school’s total courses have passed. “

For the developments around the question of OPECEPEthe government spokesman said: “I want to say that they were all but caught us with the” goat on the back “in OPECEPE. It is logical that it has not been so shown so much, but I will insist and say it. We are the government that we have sent to the authorities of 5,200 natural persons and some legal persons and some of these cases have gone to justice. Even former president of OPEKEPE and companies, who welcomed statements. We did all this before the European Public Prosecutor’s Office came. But, as we have learned to do, when something is not enough, we say it and the prime minister said before and above all. The issue of agricultural subsidies is a timeless “wound”. Greece has been forced to pay 2.7 billion euros in fines within about 30 years. What will we do from now on? At the level of investigation, the Inquiry Committee, hoping, for the first time, after many years to work properly – and this is the responsibility of all parties – will look for all these big questions. What has happened to local government? What is a technical solution? How many ministers and who sent some to justice? If any VAT IDs were blocked? How many VAT have been blocked? At money search level, a “safari” search has begun. Will We have very soon the first results. Let some are in no hurry. And most importantly, to tell the citizens as a whole, but also to the people in the primary sector, that this is the great debt of the state. They are every right to demand that we get the last euro from the scammers and this is our highest task. And we will not stop when this case may not be so much in the news. The third, we will not stop claiming more and more for the primary sector, both nationally and European. Recall that we are the government that has reduced very important taxes for the primary sector, VAT on fertilizers, feed. We fixed the return of the excise duty to the oil. We have allowed cheap stream to farmers for 10 years. These were not done by those who shout from the opposition. Because those who shout from the opposition never gave the slightest, essential to farmers and farmers. So, yes, to close all the “wounds” and, most importantly, to get back the stolen and give them to those who are truly farmers and really reinforce the primary sector. “

To dilemma ‘pizza or souvlaki’, as said, “The answer is 100-0 souvlaki. And by the way, because the shooting takes place at noon, just after the end we will get into one of our favorite applications to get some skewers for the whole team if you want. Anyone who wants to tell me … “” I am seriously saying this to know “he added.

Finally, to a question Where will go on holidayMr. Marinakis replied: “My family should learn it first, when we close it and then say it to Q&A, perhaps the next one, which will be reasonably after the end of August … somewhere near and somewhere that the little one can have, that is, various activities. It’s these days to close it. I hope we do it. “
