Regarding high inflation and price hikes in food goods, he emphasized that the structural solution to the problem is de-escalating inflation, which will come in combination with permanent increases in incomes and permanent reductions in taxes: “This will ultimately improve disposable incomes,” he said.
Regarding the number of staff in the National Health System (NHS), Mitsotakis underlined that this has gone up: “We had 100,000 before the coronavirus pandemic, whereas now there are 107,000 and we must definitely add another 10,000 permanent hires to cover some of the departures,” he said.
Strengthening Greece’s NHS “is something I will put a lot of emphasis on, having learned a lot more during the pandemic,” he stressed.
Mitsotakis also spoke about SYRIZA’s tax and contributions system and how that changed, and about the Thessaloniki metro, that he felt personal satisfaction over, since the project was stuck in the previous government.
About Sunday’s elections, he said that “a clear victory for New Democracy will create the strong preconditions required to govern the country with stability over the next four years.”
