This must be Mitsotakis, utopia, the rich get richer and the ordinary citizens get screwed. What a wonderful government we have. And he wonders why young Greeks want to leave, and Greeks who have lived in other countries don’t want to come back.
My daughters moved back to the Netherland where minimum wage is 26.000 gross. With some education and experience, you make easily 35-40k.
One has worked here in hotels, making 800,- a month, working 30 days. And unempleoyment brings 2k for the winter. That does not work!
I can say my salary is definitely NOT 17,000.00 € a year…it’s far from this! Yearly my rent is getting increased, high electricity prices, constantly increasing prices at supermarkets…I cannot even go out for a drink or for dinner!!! It’s disgusting that this government is not stopping it! I’m not surprised that so many Greeks leaving the country! And me, as a proud Greek I am thinking of this too. There will be a move for me and my family in 2025!!! Greece is dead for me!!!
