PASOK is “calling out” the government because the Greek economy, despite the war, continues to grow at twice the rate of the Eurozone, according to a statement from the Ministry of Finance.
As the Ministry of Finance notes, “even under the Commission’s pessimistic scenario, Greece is projected to grow by 1.8% in 2026 , while the Eurozone average will be just 0.9%!
By the same logic, soon Harilaou Trikoupi will be demanding explanations because investment has risen from 11% to 17% of GDP, because unemployment has fallen to 8% from 17% (and from 27% at the height of the crisis), and because Greece is recording the fastest debt reduction in the world. Every positive indicator for the country “shatters” PASOK’s doomsday narrative.
The government is the first to acknowledge the difficulties and pressures that households continue to face. That is why we have implemented new, emergency, and permanent support measures totaling 800 million euros, aimed at strengthening society and mitigating the effects of the international crisis.
The economy and the problems faced by citizens demand seriousness, planning, and responsibility—qualities that, unfortunately, seem to be lacking among the leadership of the official opposition.”
