“This Christmas finds Greece having left the 10-year-plus chain of crises behind it and looking at the future with greater optimism,” Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Sunday, in his regular weekly review of the government’s work posted on social media, ANA reports.
“Crowning our efforts was the recovery of investment grade and the accolades of international organizations and economic analysts. This ‘incredible miracle’, as it was called, was something we all achieved together, the state and society,” Mitsotakis said.
“Who would have expected that Greece would be named by the ‘Economist’ as country of the year, or that the Greek economy would once again, for the second consecutive year, be among the top 35 countries as regards its performance? It is a recognition of the sacrifices of the Greek people, the ongoing reforms, and the progress of our country,” he added.
He concluded with a reference to the government initiatives to allow the operation in Greece of private, non-profit higher education institutes: “This flagship legislation will be presented for public consultation after the holidays and become a law of the state within January, opening up the path for revising Article 16n [of the Greek constitution] so that it reflects the facts of the 21st century.”
Mitsotakis said that this was a major step in the direction of the greater government goal of convergence with the core of European countries on all levels and correcting the country’s long-standing problems and shortcomings in support of collective progress, inclusive growth, and becoming stronger.
