Greece is fully guaranteed energy, and gas supplies will be made in such a way as not to violate EU sanctions against Russia, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Friday after a government meeting, BTA reported.
He stressed that Greece is fast and methodically becoming the energy center of the region. The remark came just two days after Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Asen Vassilev announced that Bulgaria would become a regional focal point for gas transmission and electricity infrastructure in Southeast Europe.
Mitsotakis said a new national aid program would soon be announced to counter the rise in energy prices. The prime minister touched in particular on the issue of the “imported” jump in prices, which, he said, is putting pressure on households and businesses, noting that the new national support program will be announced soon.
The prime minister stressed that income support is a key priority, and referred to Monday’s increase in the minimum wage, which sent the message that “the state is on the side of our low-wage citizens” as a “fair way to distribute dividends”. from growth among all our fellow citizens “.
Recognizing that the measures do not cover all the increases, he stressed that at the national level, however, Greece is “building its own fortifications”. As he pointed out, “we feel, we try, we act: these are three verbs that should dominate our daily lives.”
“That is why I end this brief report on current events with the assurance that the government will support every citizen for as long as necessary. Without ever hiding the obstacles of time, always speaking the language of truth and doing everything possible to support society,” he said. he.
