“PASOK, failing to articulate a serious political discourse and propose realistic solutions, once again resorted to the old, familiar populism: it speaks of” compulsory 13 hours “and” Middle Ages “by attempting to terrorize citizens, while the reality is,”

“The answers, in the inaccurate and false disintegration of its executives, have already been given by the labor market, which has achieved a series of important records with the reform initiatives of the New Democracy government.

Recall what is the situation in the job market today in numbers in both quantitative and quality characteristics.

  • More than 500,000 new jobs.
  • 17 -year record in unemployment. The highest reduction in EU unemployment, by 10 percentage points – from 17.5% in May 2019 to 7.9% in May 2025.
  • A 25 -year record of recruitment – retirement balance: Overall, in the first half of 2025 it records the most positive performance of the last 25 years, with 340,572 new jobs in January – June.
  • 35% of the minimum wage and 28.3% of the average salary.
  • A rapid increase in full -time (over 3 in 4 employees).
  • ⁠It of compliance:
  • With nearly 2 million workers now protected by the digital work card.
  • With a rapid increase in overtime declared overtime in all integrated sectors, which in some cases exceeds 850% in the first half of 2025.
  • With an increase in work inspections by 8% and fines by 13.8% within one year, with more than 50 cm receipts in 2024.

Strengthening employee protection framework:

  • Maternity leave from 6 to 9 months.
  • Paternity of paternity for the first time.
  • Permission to provide care.
  • License for medical breeding exams.
  • Framework for protecting workers from violence and harassment at work.

Reception of non -wage costs both in favor of employees and in favor of businesses:

  • Horizontal Implementation contributions by 5.4%.
  • Abolition of surcharges in the insurance contributions of overtime, overtime, nightclubs and holidays.

All of the above describes a modern and absolutely regulated labor market that is governed by terms and rules and rejecting PASOK’s efforts to impose in the public dialogue an image of a gloomy reality where nonsense and exploitation supposedly dominate.

Instead of proposing meaningful policies for the future, PASOK is trying to keep it in the spotlight in terms of decades. Instead of reading the bill that promotes employment and reduces bureaucracy carefully, they spread lies. Citizens see and judge. ”
