The Greek government’s top priority over the coming period is to tackle the energy crisis and provide the maximum possible relief to the citizens, the Greek government spokesperson, Mr Yiannis Economou, stated, opening his briefing to the Press, on Thursday.
“The developments in the economy, in an environment of crises – unprecedented after WWII – have two aspects: on the one hand, the figures which confirm that our economy has very strong foundations and is performing exceptionally due to our well-structured plan and its professional execution by the Greek government; on the other hand, the development in terms of the flows and prices of natural gas presage an extremely difficult winter for Europe,” Mr Economou pointed out.
“At national level, the Greek government has proved it can raise a barrier to the price hikes in order to relieve the pressure on the everyday lives of Greek citizens,” Mr Economou underlined, but he reiterated the funds available are not inexhaustible.
“We must not forget that, if the State is today able to support households and enterprises with their electricity bills, this is partly due to a prudent policy which increased the country’s public wealth. So, there will be carefully weighted relief measures so that temporary needs do not jeopardize national priorities,” he concluded.
