Measures to address everyday problems are not going on vacation, was the message sent to ministers by Kyriakos Mitsotakisat the last cabinet meeting before the August recess.
“The regular monthly cabinet meeting sends the message that work continues even in the middle of summer. Parliament may be closed for a few weeks, but the measures for everyday life do not go on holiday,” the Prime Minister said at the beginning of his presentation, making special reference to the strictness.
“Encouraging news in terms of accuracy”
Mr Mitsotakis spoke of “several encouraging pieces of news” about the fight against precisionwith “a better inflation scenario and a reduction in supermarket prices compared to last year”. According to him, these are the “first positive signs that the measures implemented by the government are beginning to bear fruit”.
“Watchful for the proper functioning of the electricity market”
Regarding electricity bills, he highlighted that today Parliament is voting on the provision for emergency intervention in the electricity market so that – as he said – “we can send a clear message that whenever there are distortions, the government is ready to intervene for the benefit of consumers.
“We hope not to have to do this more often than necessary. We remain absolutely vigilant to ensure the orderly functioning of the electricity market and the relative stability and predictability of electricity prices,” he assured.
He also mentioned that the government is implementing a series of reforms related to Education with interventions such as the digital remedial school, “an important innovation and a significant relief for the families of children who cannot send their children to a remedial school, but also for children living in critical areas.”
Digital boost in cadastral registration
Furthermore, he referred to the bill that will be discussed at today’s cabinet meeting which – as he stressed – gives a digital boost to the land registry, “an issue that has been pending for centuries – I would say – that I hope is being concluded”.
