A substantive discussion on the cost of living, private debt and borrower protection will be launched on Monday, 16 November 2026, at 6 p.m. at Agios Dimitrios Town Hall (near Dafni metro station) by the MP for Athens’ Southern District and parliamentary spokesperson for PASOK–Movement for Change, Pavlos Christidis.
Together with Panagiota Kalapotharakou, president of EKPOIZO, George Kavvathas, president of GSEVEE, and Dimitris Spyrakos, secretary of PASOK’s Private Debt and Borrower Protection Sector, they will discuss the problems, their effects and the scope for meaningful solutions.
Today, total overdue private debt in Greece stands at €238.6 billion. This includes millions of debts owed by individuals and businesses. Around €166 billion is owed to the state, while more than €72 billion relates to non-performing loans held by banks and servicers.
The key question is how these people will be able to repay it without losing their assets, their dignity or the ability to start their lives over.
“Bad” loans, pressure from funds and servicers, the cost of living, bank charges, the Swiss franc issue and the government’s intention to introduce Article 23 are all issues that directly affect people’s daily lives and financial security.
“This discussion concerns us all.
Come and ask your questions, share your experiences and take part in an open discussion on an issue that must be addressed in a meaningful way.
We listen to the public. We discuss the problems. We press for solutions”, Pavlos Christidis’ statement concludes.
