The Minister of Development, Kostas Skrekas, said: “We support households in practice so that every family table can be filled with the necessary goods at the lowest possible prices. Initiatives such as the “Easter Basket” also increase competition between food businesses for the benefit of consumers. With the “Godparents’ Basket” we essentially help godparents and parents to buy quality toys at affordable prices to make all the children happy these festive days. The primary concern of the government and the Ministry of Development is the help and relief of all our fellow citizens, especially the most vulnerable”.
