Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, addressing the online Cabinet meeting held on Wednesday, referred to the chain reactions triggered by the conflict in Ukraine and the need for bold and coordinated solutions to address them, ANA reports.
He stressed that the “struggle for peace and legality should be primarily combined with initiatives, bold initiatives, for the defense and energy policy of Europe”.
Mitsotakis noted that “the government is moving on the domestic front but at the same time is also moving within a European framework, as well as in Greece’s neighborhood.”
He reiterated the government’s commitment to supporting enterprises, households, and farmers for as long as the crisis in energy continues, adding that “in the next 10 days, I believe we will be in a position to announce and initiate an additional full support program using national and European funds”.
Apart from the government’s actions at home, Mitsotakis referred to the six-point plan which he presented in a letter to the European Commission, to regulate trading prices in the wholesale market for natural gas, where the normal market rules of supply and demand appeared to no longer apply. He added that prices had skyrocketed speculatively, despite the fact that there was no real problem with the production, quantity, and supply of fuel, with the crisis in Ukraine as a pretext.
