“Greece in 2027 will be nothing like Greece in 2010 and the country will never return to a reality of big deficits,” Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Sunday, during the traditional press conference given by the prime minister each year at the Thessaloniki International Fair.
The PM was asked about the government’s goal for the next three years and whether Greece will be in a position to lift the bailout measures, Mitsotakis said:
“I described a road map with great clarity. I set goals for how I envision Greece in 2027. Governments are judged over four years and ours will be judged in three years from now. In 2010, Greece effectively went bankrupt. We are never going to return to a reality of big deficits. The Greece I envision will rest on firm foundations, with unemployment below 8%, an average wage of 1500 euros, a minimum wage of 950 euros, a more digitalised public sector, a better quality of life for all. Greece in 2027 can be nothing like Greece in 2010. This means convergence with Europe. Greece in 2027 will be a much better country and Greece will be able to look forward to a better life.”
A day earlier, that is on Saturday, during the traditional speech at the 88th TIF, PM Mitsotaks announced a series of measures to relief specific groups of the society, generally distributing here and there pay or benefits rise of one euro or below per day.
- Due to the ongoing prices and housing crises, the little extra will land in your right pocket and leave directly from the left one.
He did not mention anything about measures to combat high prices in essential goods including food or energy and service prices.
PS The Prime Minister did not elaborate on how Greeks will manage to reach 2027 and this brand, new and shiny country.
Move on. Nothing to see. Come back in 2027.
