“Tonight, the Prime Minister will announce three new measures that affect youth, property owners and civil servants,” he said. government spokesman Akis Skertzos on Sunday morningaddressing SKAI regarding today’s speech by Kyriakos Mitsotakis on the economic program of the National Democratic Party.

“We have already announced an increase in salaries for state employees from 01/01/24 with an emphasis on low-paid and responsible positions. Performance surcharge has also been implemented since 01/01/23. This is something that operates in the private sector and should have come to the public sector as well,” he said.

“Voting at the ballot box on May 21 symbolizes whether we will move forward unwaveringly or choose a combination of parties that can keep the country in a stalemate or can bring it back,” added Mr. Schertzos.

“The main dilemma in the elections is forward or backward. If we want to continue on the path of progress that will bring us closer to the rest of Europe. We risked leaving Europe with the coalition that ruled the country from 2015 to 2019. We have stayed in Europe and have made significant progress from 2019 to today, but we still have a lot of problems. Steps have been taken that should be leaps and bounds. The proposals of the opposition are either fixation or regression,” he said.

He added that “the demand for self-reliance has nothing to do with some ND arrogance, but because the country has some national goals and needs a stable government.”

“On the other hand, we have a program that leads to the Babylonian form. Because Mr. Tsipras hasn’t studied since 2015 and it takes us out of the window to cooperate with Mr. Varoufakis on a program that costs 83 billion and sends us straight to the rocks, because it eludes the Greek economy by 8-9 times. “, – emphasized, in particular, a representative of the government.
