Difference from the usual interview gave yesterday Kyriakos Mitsotakisgoing to the breakfast of the music station Sphere, where he talked in a more casual manner, but also on topics with the presenters.

However, that didn’t stop the prime minister from making headlines when he was asked why the age limit in the government’s My Home scheme includes young people and couples under 39 and is not being extended.

“You are right in what you say,” the prime minister told a journalist, emphasizing that “I also heard this and I consider the complaint justified.” Mr. Mitsotakis noted that many in their 40s and 50s tell him that “we are the generation that swallowed the crisis headlong.” In this context, he left open the possibility of extending the program. “I think that as long as it is successful and successful, as long as the market as a whole moves in this direction and the apartments begin to be renovated and the other person understands that the property that he can own can be real. Active, I am absolutely ready to allocate more funds from the state budget and expand the program,” he said, adding that “I also want us to do something else that is important: build more student residences.”

Transition

The prime minister spoke in detail about the support measures taken by the government and suggested that the price of natural gas could fall. “Yes, but for that you need to do other things. So it is already relatively comforting that we have seen a relative de-escalation in recent days, the price remains very, very high, but the real change will be achieved when we make the switch to renewables even faster,” he said, explaining that “It’s cheaper, they’re greener, and no one can take our sun and wind away from us, so we don’t succumb to geopolitical blackmail.”

Meeting with Regling

Yesterday, shortly before leaving for New York, the Prime Minister met at the Maximos Palace with the Managing Director of the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), Klaus Regling. During the meeting, the situation in the European economy and the main challenges it faces, especially in the field of energy and inflation, were discussed.

The difficult situation at the pan-European level was noted, as well as important indicators of the Greek economy and its positive prospects. It is worth noting that Mr. Regling is making his last visit to Greece in this capacity, as his term of office expires on 7 October.
