The Minister of Citizen Protection, Michalis Chrysochoidis, interviewed the online show “My Story” on Monononews.gr, where in addition to the issues of current policy and social news, he also spoke about his personal career.

Regarding the results of the investigation in the OPEKEPE case, he notes that “the investigation is proceeding in two directions … the research will continue to reach 600,000 VAT ID some time to see how many of them have received illegal subsidies. At the same time, research began to find the criminal groups that worked together to get some money …

I believe that with this intervention, announced by the prime minister, that is to say OPECEPE in AADE, which is an independent transparency authority, with an institutional framework, which is essentially supervised by the European Commission, we will finally be able to put a class on this issue. “

On the successes of the Organized Crime Management Directorate in the fight against criminal groups, Mr. Chrysochoidis says: “The establishment of this new service, about 10 months ago, has led to the arrest of 1,400 criminals, of which 500 are in prison. Unprecedented sizes for data related to organized crime. On the other hand, in the neighborhoods that are interested in citizens – thefts, burglaries that occur in every area – there is a great effort. We didn’t eliminate the crime, but I want to tell you that my goal – and we work night – is to improve another (the situation). This crime that annoys citizens has already declined significantly. In West Attica we have a big problem, in the settlements of the vulnerable groups of Roma, of which there is a large part of crime … They will be led to prison for the citizens to rest and live in a regime of social peace. “

Regarding the implementation of the new Road Traffic Code and the 1,000 cameras to be placed on roads in the Attica Basin, it says that they will record the traffic offenses, as well as other offenses or offenses. On the other hand, he said, the traffic has recorded significant records in the certificate of violations, such as driving under the influence of alcohol, in helmet use. “The question is why, for example, people who have a scooter do not wear a helmet. What is it that leads them to put their lives so danger. Anyone who is circulating without a helmet will pay a great fine because he is in danger of life, the life of a young child is in danger. “

Regarding the tax breaks that the government has announced, it emphasizes: “Reducing taxes gradually is a policy. But breaking tax policy and tax collection is very irresponsible.

The government has chosen to boost incomes in various ways. One way is tax breaks. So if one earns in their income from tax relief, it is an increase in income. It is an increase in purchasing power. “

In response to the opposition’s reactions, he notes, “policies are not made with slogans. Politics is built by measures, by decisions, with institutions. “

To join ND in 2019, Mr Chrysochoidis notes that “what matters is who can express a stream within society, to the citizens, who can, in particular, go ahead, making reforms and changes. This is the question every time. My choice to get involved in 2019 with Kyriakos Mitsotakis and then to elect a MP and even the first, as you said, in B2 West Athens, an area of ​​citizens from the popular strata – and it is a great honor to really serve these citizens – is exactly in it. That is, I represent a vast majority of citizens in this direction, who are not partially integrated and well -integrated into the New Democracy, but aim to improve their standard of living, the changes to be made in the country and, of course, have a safe country. “

Finally, regarding the goal of Nikos Androulakis, the PASOK first party is in the next election, the Minister of Citizen Protection, notes: “Everyone is judged for what he says … What PASOK says, Mr. Androulakis, will be proven by the world. The parties express social needs, they express citizens. Faces play an important role, but mainly what they represent: society. Which social groups, which citizens. Parties are expressive interests, in a good sense. They are also expressors of goals and desires that citizens have on general issues. So there will be PASOK and not just PASOK, all. “
