PM Mitsotakis' New Year message
Better wages, decent health coverage for all and affordable housing, especially for young people, were among the key targets mentioned by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in his New Year message on Saturday.
After referring to the "imported inflation, which eats away at the average income", Mitsotakis also mentioned the "targeted efforts of the state to support society and the country's economy during any unforeseen challenge" that may arise in 2023.
The premier also referred to support measures that take effect on January 1, such as increased pension payouts and better salaries for NHS doctors, as well as the abolition of the solidarity levy for civil servants and pensioners.
He also insisted anew that it is a "national duty to maintain fiscal discipline," and he referred to the increase in the minimum wage that will take effect on April 1, 2023.
