In particular, the president of the Piraeus Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Vassilis Korkidis, stated that “it is time to achieve economic and social progress through common actions with basic objectives, to eliminate obstacles in the market, to improve pay and working conditions. It is time for decent pensions, better living and quality of life for citizens. It is time to strengthen the economy and ensure harmonious growth by further improving the investment climate by removing red tape and other procedures that have in the past held back productive investment. It is time for the new government to prioritize young people and small and medium-sized businesses. It is time for the new government to move forward, having the strong mandate of the people to lead the country to overall upgrading and development. It is time to understand that the government of our country, regardless of party and color, is the government of all Greeks. It’s time for our Greece!”
