Ad. Georgiadis: ‘Thanks to government measures, we will have a milder winter than Northern Europe’

“We have a meeting of the Parliament’s Institutions and Transparency Committee on the appointment of the new head of the National Intelligence Service, Themistocles Demiris, a discussion on Friday at the level of political leaders, a second meeting of the Parliament’s Institutions and Transparency Committee next week, the establishment of a Commission of Inquiry “, stressed the Minister of Development and Investments Adonis Georgiadis on Parapolitika 90.1 about the surveillance case.

“Obviously answers must be given and that is why the government agrees to all these issues. The answers will be given,” the minister then emphasized. “Every year many people are put under legal surveillance by the EYP. This is the work of the EYP”, he added.

“No one underestimates the seriousness of the matter, otherwise there would not have been the resignations that came. The prime minister should certainly have been informed, that’s why he asked for the resignation of the commander”, said Mr. Georgiadis characteristically about the surveillance case.

Referring to SYRIZA and PASOK, Mr. Georgiadis said that “in fact, PASOK and SYRIZA seem to have come together. I think it will turn out to be a big political mistake for Mr. Androulakis”, he noted and added: “The elections are late, they are early to talk about electoral dilemmas”.

Regarding the government’s announcements, he noted that “right now Greece and Europe are entering the most difficult winter since World War II. It is difficult to predict what will happen at the European energy level. The Prime Minister with his decision not to elections helps us get through this difficult winter. Our resources are not inexhaustible,” the minister said, among other things, in reference to the energy crisis.

“The economy, all things considered, is doing extremely well. We will have significant growth in 2022, well above forecasts. If we had not had the war, we would have had the most impressive year in decades,” he added.

“We are going for about a 5% growth in the middle of a war. We have larger fiscal margins, but they are not inexhaustible. We have record tourism, record investment and record exports. The energy intervention that Greece is doing right now is the biggest in the world,” he pointed out.

“Thanks to the government measures, this difficult winter it seems that the Greek people will have a better time than northern Europe. Of course, this does not alleviate our own problems. Greece will have many problems, but much less than the northern European countries,” he said. Mr. Georgiadis.

Regarding inflation, the minister emphasized: “Yesterday the euro fell below the dollar, something that had to be done since its creation. This in itself creates inflation. The fact that Greece had 11.3% inflation in July, 6th or 7th in Europe, but the largest monthly decrease in inflation in Europe. The inflation trend in our country seems to be converging towards the European average”.

Regarding the Greek-Turkish developments, Mr. Georgiadis pointed out: “In the midst of all this storm, the government must also face Turkey’s hybrid war. The opposition must stop cheap criticism. I am sure that Mr. Erdogan is manipulating the issue of immigrants and plays his change”.
