“We are supporting the middle class, which our party considers the backbone of society and the economy,” said Infrastructure Minister Costas Karamanlis when asked by public broadcaster ERT about rising prices and relief measures.
Mr. Karamanlis reminded that the Prime Minister yesterday stressed that they are not horizontal measures but aimed at vulnerable households and small and medium enterprises and reminded the proposal of Kyriakos Mitsotakis to the European Council for joint action.
“Let’s hope that Europe has learned from the mistakes of the past. The EU “gives 1 billion euros a day for natural gas to Russia and we say that a common strategy and solution must be found,” said the Minister of Infrastructure, among other things.
