“What we have to do is work with seriousness, modesty and efficiency. People want to comply with our pre -election commitments and move on to reforms. In the second half of the year there are 25 reforms, which means one a week. In the last cabinet, I recall, we had the measures announced at the TIF, the initiatives for immigration, the interventions for the Armed Forces ». This was pointed out by the Vice President of the Government Kostis Hatzidakisin an interview yesterday on Action24 television, answering a question about the prospect of creating a new party by Alexis Tsipras.

‘Mr Tsipras is addressed to leftist area. Let them find them, it doesn’t concern us. He is the leader of SYRIZA who lost the European elections and parliamentary elections in 2019, he lost again in 2023 and now decides to try again. It’s his own issue, ” stressed and added: “We are concerned not to dominate populism in the country, which has various manifestations not only on the left but also in the far -right. And not to surrender again to instability. Because citizens made very great efforts and sacrifices that we need to preserve. “

On the subject of OPECEPEMr. Hatzidakis pointed out that the government does not underestimate the pressure from the farmers’ side In order to collect the subsidies But not even the European Commission to move to a new regime in terms of payments, with complete transparency and without disputes by Brussels.

‘We go as quickly as possible in consultation with AADE and the European Commission. I understand the problem of the farmers, but they also understand that we have to be careful that we will move, not to make frivolities so that the European Commission does not come and suspend subsidies, “ he stressed. “Already on Friday, the first payment of aid was made to producers of potato, mastic, citrus and more. OR AADE calculates that in about ten days the compensation due will be given For the so -called fractured materials of the natural disaster, for feed, for organic farming, livestock farming and beekeeping. “

To a question about Mr. Routsi’s hunger strikewhich was interrupted yesterday, the Deputy Prime Minister reiterated the position he – as he noted – is steadily expressing all these days. That is, it is a matter of justice which decides on the basis of procedural rules. ‘Some of the opposition make theatrical policies representations. I didn’t see them climb up the tiles with the Pandra or with the eye. I tears both with the eye and with the Tempi. It is therefore advisable to let justice, respecting the Constitution, the laws, the procedural rules, the principles of the rule of law. “

Finally, in a question about the initiatives announced at the TIF, the Deputy Prime Minister said: “We are watching that the economy is evolving and we are updating our policy. TIF measures have not yet been voted on, the prime minister reserves the right to present various aspects of economic and social policy. “
