The main priority, if he wins elections for a second four-year term, will be the National Health System, while justice will also need to move faster, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said in an interview on Tuesday, ANA reports.
Speaking to Alpha TV journalist Antonis Sroiter, Mitsotakis said he “always believed we need two four-year terms for anyone to change Greece. We definitely need two terms to say that Greece changed playing courts and became Europe.”
The PM touched on many issues including the high cost of living, which he called the government’s greatest problem right now and a global one. Subsidies and supplements are only for emergency use, he said: “The permanent measure is to reduce taxes, raise salaries, and I personally want the minimum (monthly) wage to reach 1,000 euros by the end of the second term.”
Referring to his party, he said, “If New Democracy is elected and I am prime minister, we will achieve investment grade before the end of 2023.” But main opposition SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras’ program “will undoubtedly lead to a new loan memorandum of 45 billion euros. This would shake up the economy and send investors away. Do we want to kick the milk bucket, or will we persist on the path we have set out on?”
