[00:00:00] bigger back, okay, well the 5 minutes they give to
[00:00:04] gasoline and 10 to diesel fuel, let's see
[00:00:07] bigger, so that it's more generous, as far as
[00:00:11] it goes, because yes, this has to happen to be
[00:00:15] honest, because of their tax profit, there
[00:00:18] is no other option since they are making profit and the
[00:00:22] refineries benefit from all this, there is a third way no one orders, exactly,
[00:00:25] no one will order, it will all
[00:00:27] be sold.
[00:00:34] What is better for us, anyway, with this situation, to
[00:00:38] burn this year and what are the energy measures previously, if
[00:00:41] we have from the control and Mr. Keananidis, he is the president of the Federation of Truck
[00:00:45] Drivers of Greece, because these fuels that
[00:00:48] we show have a great burden on transport, on
[00:00:51] travel, and all this is then shifted to the products. Mr. Kenanidis, good
[00:00:55] morning. Good morning, do you hear what
[00:00:59] we are saying? I hear what you are saying, how do
[00:01:02] you hear it? The situation is very
[00:01:05] difficult, when we take into account that
[00:01:08] in February 2025,
[00:01:12] the l diesel
[00:01:15] was 1.14, in February
[00:01:18] 2026, this year it was
[00:01:21] 2.45 and today it is
[00:01:24] 1.45, sorry, and today it has gone to
[00:01:27] 2.16 with 1, when I last year
[00:01:31] put in 1140€
[00:01:35] and now I need
[00:01:37] 2160€,
[00:01:40] you understand how much the cost of transport has increased, we are talking
[00:01:44] about double, that is, 1
[00:01:48] thousand more to fill the truck.
[00:01:50] Exactly, and how do you deal with it? How do
[00:01:54] you fight it? Unfortunately, every day, as
[00:01:57] you also see, there are
[00:02:00] increases every day, we cannot, generally,
[00:02:03] daily, to the customer, we cannot say, I want
[00:02:07] 50 or 100€ more, you understand, have you
[00:02:10] increased the cost of the services you provide to the companies that transport
[00:02:14] their products? We made a significant increase,
[00:02:17] but now recently, as it rises again every day,
[00:02:20] there is no
[00:02:23] possibility to ask for price increases every day.
[00:02:26] What effort is being made, who
[00:02:30] will cover it then? Is this whole cycle now a dead end?
[00:02:33] We are already in a dead end, there
[00:02:37] is already a great burden on
[00:02:39] us and then we will surely
[00:02:42] demand the corresponding increases from the
[00:02:46] period of time, we will pay for it again, so
[00:02:49] we understand, Mr. Kenanidis, that the cost will again be shifted
[00:02:52] from your fuel, as you pay for it so expensively, to the
[00:02:56] products you transport and from there to...
[00:03:01] It's not just the transport cost that has skyrocketed, consider that the
[00:03:04] operating cost of industries and businesses will increase,
[00:03:07] the price of natural gas and electricity also increases,
[00:03:11] so increases are a one-way street, we don't see anything else beyond
[00:03:14] that, we are living the perfect energy
[00:03:17] storm and the problem right now
[00:03:20] is that Europe doesn't
[00:03:24] seem ready to make the decisions, as it did, let's
[00:03:27] say, in the corresponding period. As
[00:03:33] always, like then with the memorandums in Greece, it came and brought us the
[00:03:37] disaster, it couldn't take the responsibility to find a more normal
[00:03:41] solution than this exhausting one that they imposed on
[00:03:44] Greece,
[00:03:47] because now, excuse me, when the war broke out last year, everyone said that the impact would be
[00:03:51] seen within a period of six months, they knew, why didn't they prepare accordingly?
[00:03:55] Now, how
[00:03:57] will it work again across Europe? This
[00:04:01] is what is more impressive, that today we have elections in two
[00:04:04] states in Germany. We can discuss tonight or tomorrow
[00:04:08] morning what happened with the FDP and the rest. I
[00:04:12] think that the policy, let's say, Mr.
[00:04:15] Mertz, but also in other countries and in France, we see that there are reactions and
[00:04:19] we have presidential elections next spring, instead of taking
[00:04:22] some measures, finally we sit after some elections and say,
[00:04:25] oh, what happened, let's say the far-right in Saxony goes and makes
[00:04:29] an agreement again with Mr. Putin for natural gas, so, things
[00:04:32] are not simple now and unfortunately Europe does not have quick reflexes, Mr.
[00:04:36] Kenanidis, thank you very much, we will go to a
[00:04:39] commercial break, returning, we
[00:04:42] will see what happens with the issue of the measures I told you about, what the
[00:04:46] Prime Minister has announced and what people can expect, what relief they can get in
[00:04:50] relation to this whole energy storm that is coming,
[00:04:52] we also have for the children, I will say about the car, wait for me to finish
[00:04:56] the financials a bit, we have to say what happens with pensions as well.
[00:05:00] Mr. Bourlos, we have to give information to the people here and
[00:05:03] we also have my home three, all these cause
[00:05:07] increases, Mr. Lehouritis will also be with us, we saw it now with
[00:05:11] transport. It has already gone to products and we already have at
[00:05:14] this moment that we are talking about, photos from the report we have done, products that have
[00:05:18] skyrocketed in prices, sorry, cucumbers now 3€,
[00:05:22] pears 3€ and in some cases even four
[00:07:23] Every weekend we highlight the issues of
[00:07:26] society. Every weekend
[00:07:29] different opinions are put on the table. But I'm sorry,
[00:07:32] between us now, isn't that what
[00:07:35] we all say? Reportage at 10 with
[00:07:39] Nina Karamitrou and George Grigoriadis. This is what
[00:07:42] we say, that every weekend with us

[00:11:44] daily at 12:4 in the afternoon on
[00:11:48] Sky. But why should the
[00:11:51] song be sad?
[00:11:58] The songs that unite
[00:15:19] president of INKA, because what we showed previously, those of you who were watching us
[00:15:23] before the break, good morning Mr. Lehhouritis. How are you? Good morning, well
[00:15:27] we are well and I am glad you do reporting every time and you
[00:15:30] feed us and help us, because we had a previous connection with Mr.
[00:15:34] Kenanidis about how much the cost of trucks has increased.
[00:15:37] One thousand more, Mr. Lehhouritis, and that has already reached the shelves, hasn't
[00:15:41] it? It hasn't arrived yet, it hasn't
[00:15:44] arrived yet, because the agreements that transport companies make
[00:15:48] are usually annual, so
[00:15:51] you understand, with the new agreements that will
[00:15:54] emerge, then the big increases due to the
[00:15:57] transport
[00:16:00] cost will come, this annual cycle you
[00:16:03] describe, usually in October,
[00:16:06] November, the...
[00:16:16] It's the skyrocketing cost of production for farmers, because they use diesel,
[00:16:19] that's what we were saying before about the operating cost of businesses, all these are passed on
[00:16:23] to product prices and we already see increases because this
[00:16:26] situation didn't happen suddenly, it's a prolonged period
[00:16:29] of price increases that now has simply gone up even more,
[00:16:33] and if you allow me, obviously since March.
[00:16:46] They haven't had such big adjustments due to transport
[00:16:50] costs yet, and
[00:16:53] I would justify it, because it's not just the transport
[00:16:56] cost, it's also the storage cost and the packaging
[00:17:00] cost and the operating cost, all
[00:17:04] contribute, but for a product to leave for 40 cents,
[00:17:07] like peaches or apricots, or 50
[00:17:10] cents from the field, and the
[00:17:14] producer is paid, this year we had complaints from producers who
[00:17:17] sold the product cheaper than they sold it last year, in
[00:17:21] contrast, the cost has almost doubled from what they had
[00:17:25] last year, raisins
[00:17:28] for example, of Corinth, the
[00:17:30] sultana is bought from the producer at 70 cents and is not bought by the
[00:17:34] merchant, and we buy it for 2.5
[00:17:37] - 3€ and 3.5€. The
[00:17:40] lady who has the
[00:17:42] photos
[00:17:44] we sent, 2.99,
[00:17:47] let's go see the products, Mr. Lehhouritis, we are talking about supermarkets,
[00:17:51] correctly, we are not talking about exactly,
[00:17:54] it says supermarket prices there, so for Katerina from
[00:17:58] the control to help us see the photos you sent, we are talking about
[00:18:02] cucumbers, pears, what other products do we have? We didn't see anything under 3€.
[00:18:05] είδαμε.
[00:18:07] you have the photos or do you want us to proceed and come back later?
[00:18:11] Okay, so in these increases that we will see soon,
[00:18:15] if the agreements are concluded, as Mr. Lehouritis tells us, the new ones at the end of
[00:18:18] October, what we described before for the trucks,
[00:18:22] we will see it even more, so come on Mr. Lehouritis, pears
[00:18:25] here, you will see where the feta will go, the
[00:18:29] Greek feta that already, wait a minute, let's see the photos
[00:18:33] and you will tell us why feta, here are the pears, two
[00:18:35] we see 2.9 per kilo the
[00:18:39] pears, let's go to the next photo,
[00:18:43] here are grapes, it's the season for grapes
[00:18:46] 2.49 Attica, what does it say there? Attica and
[00:18:50] Corinth, I didn't understand what it says Attica, Attica at
[00:18:53] 2.5€ for grapes, so it's their season now, their
[00:18:56] time, and let's move on to the next photo.
[00:19:00] Kids, look here now cucumbers
[00:19:03] 2.89 tomatoes 2.89, that is
[00:19:06] almost 3€. Product and 3€ and it's the season for all
[00:19:10] of these, isn't it, and a tomato next to it there
[00:19:12] 2.69.
[00:19:15] So if these are the prices now, imagine how much we will see them in a
[00:19:19] month, that's why we think something has to
[00:19:23] happen in the market, something has to be done, we don't mean to say it's supposed
[00:19:26] to be according to Elstat, the prices of fruits fell in August by
[00:19:29] 7.1%. You understand that, okay, this is not a
[00:19:33] representative picture of reduced prices and what you were saying about feta.
[00:19:38] So feta had gone up almost 1€ from what
[00:19:41] its price was last year, that is, if it was 12.30 last year,
[00:19:45] it went to 13.30,
[00:19:48] we have cases where it was 12.30 and went
[00:19:51] to 13.70, so, feta will exceed
[00:19:55] 15€ per kilo in view of
[00:19:58] Christmas, because we have reduced
[00:20:01] production, increased price of the lamb
[00:20:05] and ultimately the consumer is the one who will pay. On the marble, you will tell me and
[00:20:08] this has been confirmed by the
[00:20:11] gentlemen to all cheesemakers, the question is,
[00:20:14] everyone is right, Mrs. Randou, but where
[00:20:18] will the consumer find the money to buy products
[00:20:21] increased by 30-40 and 50% compared
[00:20:25] to last year, this is what concerns us, and because
[00:20:28] you mentioned heating oil, if
[00:20:31] the ball actually lands at 1.75, because today
[00:20:35] it is 1.90, one to two.
[00:20:37] At 2€, you understand what a harsh winter, if we have a
[00:20:41] harsh winter, but we will have a harsh winter in our pockets, when last year
[00:20:45] it started at 1.10, this year it will be 60 and 70 cents
[00:20:49] more expensive for.
[00:21:14] To be realistic, no one should think that it's impossible
[00:21:17] that if the EFF leaves, it will go to one.
[00:21:30] That is, it can drop 26 cents, exactly, how much, how much,
[00:21:33] ladies, it can drop 26 cents per liter, for
[00:21:36] the EFF to drop, the lowest limit for heating oil
[00:21:40] is at 2 cents per liter,
[00:21:43] so let's go see the measures now, even if it drops,
[00:21:46] even if it drops, it will be in favor of the consumer.
[00:21:53] Let's go to Mr. Stamatis to see the measures for the energy shock, what
[00:21:56] we have to expect, that is, what has been announced so far, we also have a card, Mr.
[00:22:00] Stamatis, first of all I see the subsidy, the extension of the diesel
[00:22:03] subsidy for October as well, we are talking about 10 cents, isn't that right, it's for diesel
[00:22:07] fuel, correctly, it's for diesel fuel in order to remain
[00:22:11] it's a total of 15 cents subsidy in order to remain at the levels of
[00:22:14] 220 which it is today and not to see it approaching 235 and
[00:22:18] 240.
[00:22:21] For heating oil, we expect within the coming week the
[00:22:24] announcement of measures from the government, the
[00:22:27] Prime Minister gave us a heads-up in his interview that
[00:22:31] there will be measures and we expect these measures to become specific within the week so that these
[00:22:34] measures are specified in the meeting he had
[00:22:38] with the President of the Republic, he said a direct subsidy
[00:22:41] at the pump for heating oil, plus what
[00:22:44] the refineries will provide, something similar to what
[00:22:48] happened in 2022 and 2023 with... Then
[00:22:50] it was, to remind you, 32.5
[00:22:54] cents per liter, now it might be something similar, we hope something more
[00:22:57] increased for a real relief, and the increase in the heating
[00:23:00] allowance is also on the table, correctly, we don't
[00:23:04] know the amount for expanding beneficiaries, now it's from
[00:23:06] 100€ to 1200€ in very cold areas, the
[00:23:10] latest scenario talks about an increase of 100€ for all beneficiaries
[00:23:14] who receive it, yes, it will be 100€ more.
[00:23:17] Reinstatement of the cap on the profit margin. This concerns the
[00:23:20] refineries. Yes, the Prime Minister said that we are considering it and
[00:23:24] also the reduction of the special consumption tax on fuels, these are the measures
[00:23:28] being considered. Mr. Stamatis, given all that we have shown, what
[00:23:31] do you think today, as we speak, is the best option for someone to choose?
[00:23:34] Electricity, natural gas, oil, wood?
[00:23:38] What? Oil is by
[00:23:40] far the most expensive solution compared to natural gas and
[00:23:44] electricity at today's
[00:23:47] prices. Beyond that, it depends on the needs of each
[00:23:51] household and the tariffs they have, because it's one thing
[00:23:54] for a household to have a cheap fixed blue
[00:23:57] tariff and another thing a expensive green tariff for
[00:24:01] electricity. Natural
[00:24:03] gas and electricity can both
[00:24:07] give a much lower cost compared to oil, as
[00:24:11] things stand, if a household has a cheap fixed tariff, it is
[00:24:14] preferable to operate air conditioning or heat
[00:24:17] pumps rather than burning natural gas. Indeed,
[00:24:21] let's go to Mr. Bourlos before we see what happens with the houses and
[00:24:25] my house two, because we understand Mr. Bourlos that those who are now
[00:24:28] vulnerable are pensioners, especially low-income pensioners, wage earners
[00:24:32] and especially low- wage earners, to put it that way,
[00:24:35] some increases are coming, let's see what they are and if they could give a
[00:24:39] small relief, how will pensioners cope with all
[00:24:42] this hardship, the readjustments,
[00:24:45] the price increases,
[00:24:49] what we expect is the increase that is expected to
[00:24:53] appear in pensions, in the pension that will be paid at the end of
[00:24:57] December, that is, in the January pension, the
[00:25:00] increase is determined by two parameters,
[00:25:03] growth and inflation, these are the two parameters that
[00:25:07] determine it and we estimate that
[00:25:09] this will be around 2.6 to
[00:25:12] 2.7%, this increase concerns
[00:25:15] everyone, all funds, all pension
[00:25:18] levels, everyone. Yes, now, after
[00:25:21] the abolition of the offsetting of the personal
[00:25:24] difference, it concerns everyone for the first time, it concerns everyone for the first
[00:25:28] time, for the first time, yes, because last year
[00:25:32] something was given to those who had a personal difference,
[00:25:35] now with the complete abolition of the
[00:25:38] offsetting, because that is the correct expression,
[00:25:42] everyone will get this increase of 2.6, 2.7, hopefully it
[00:25:45] will be something more, so, for example, for
[00:25:49] a pension of 700€, with
[00:25:52] the increase we are discussing, we will have an
[00:25:55] improvement of 18.90€ per month, that is,
[00:25:59] 226.80€ per year.
[00:26:10] Even if it's something, someone will still weigh it and see what we were saying before about
[00:26:13] fuel, about food, about housing, which we will discuss shortly,
[00:26:17] the 18.60 for a slice of feta, let's say, if prices also increase as we were saying before, or a
[00:26:21] kilo of cheese, now let's move on to larger pensions,
[00:26:24] higher, so 1,100€ is
[00:26:27] 29.70 per month, therefore
[00:26:30] 356 per year, the
[00:26:33] improvement in income, and for a pension of
[00:26:36] 1,300€, it is 35.10 per month,
[00:26:39] 421.20 per year, now the injustice, the
[00:26:43] higher the pension, the greater the increase, it is directly proportional,
[00:26:46] while normally those who receive lower pensions need it,
[00:26:49] I imagine it is also proportional to what
[00:26:52] each person has paid to reach
[00:26:54] the level of the pension, it is a function of two
[00:26:58] factors, one is the insurance contributions that have
[00:27:01] been paid. From 2002 until the time
[00:27:04] someone retires and the second is how many years
[00:27:07] of insurance they have in total.
[00:27:10] One clarification we should make is the
[00:27:13] horizontal measure of 400€ that will also be received by these
[00:27:16] pensioners who receive
[00:27:18] 2.2
[00:27:26] to conclude with what we were saying, because it might be a
[00:27:30] the pensioners' question, the increase. This goes into the amount of the
[00:27:33] pension, it doesn't go into the amount of the old personal
[00:27:36] difference, that is, if someone had an €800
[00:27:40] pension, of which €700 was the
[00:27:43] pension and €100 was the personal difference, they see this increase
[00:27:46] in the €700, not in the total. And when does the
[00:27:50] €400 come in? So, the €400, which
[00:27:54] more people are getting than last year, quite a lot more,
[00:27:58] about 500,000 pensioners are not getting it,
[00:28:01] that is, those who are under 65
[00:28:04] years old are not getting it, and also those who are receiving
[00:28:08] a widow's pension and are
[00:28:11] under 60 years old, that is, a child
[00:28:15] of 18-19 years old whose father died and receives a widow's pension
[00:28:19] is not getting it. The biggest injustice is that someone who is under 65 is not getting it,
[00:28:23] and they might be receiving a €500 pension, and someone who is over 65 and has
[00:28:26] a €3,000 pension is getting it. This is a bigger injustice, but it's a good measure, we don't want to
[00:28:29] condemn it. Well, it's certainly
[00:28:33] better than last year, and this will be paid, as we said, at the
[00:28:37] end of November 2026. For whom,
[00:28:40] however, let's clarify, for everyone during that period, pay attention,
[00:28:44] the 65th year or the 60th, because the widow's pension
[00:28:47] must have been completed by December
[00:28:51] 2025, one, and secondly, they
[00:28:54] must have acquired pensioner status,
[00:28:58] that is, a final pension decision must have been issued by
[00:29:01] September 26.
[00:29:05] That is, they are not getting it. Indeed. Let's go to Mr.
[00:29:08] Bakas. Another big problem is housing, dear Themis,
[00:29:11] a big blow now, and every year we see rents increasing more and
[00:29:15] more. I heard during the break that you were saying with Mr. Bourlos that
[00:29:19] prices have started to rise again in the north. Because
[00:29:22] the south was over-saturated. Yes, people can't afford it anymore, it's a different market. The
[00:29:25] southern suburbs of Athens are now a different market. It's a market
[00:29:29] essentially for an average Greek.
[00:29:34] Areas are becoming ghettos in Greece. Yes, this is very bad,
[00:29:37] but it won't change at this moment of wealth, shall I say.
[00:29:40] Now comes "My Home 3", new criteria are coming for
[00:29:44] this. Let's see which ones. So, "My Home 3", continuation of the
[00:29:48] "My Home 2" program. Budget: 2
[00:29:50] billion euros. Now, the beneficiaries will be from 25 years old
[00:29:54] up to 55 years old. In the "My Home 2" program, it was up to 50. The commercial
[00:29:58] value goes up to €300,000, while in the "My Home" program.
[00:30:04] The loan here is up to 90% of the
[00:30:07] commercial value of the property, with €330,000.
[00:30:11] Here, we mention the following: that here we are talking about a house with commercial values up to
[00:30:14] €300,000, which means that a fellow citizen can
[00:30:18] have their own money, even €70,000 in own
[00:30:22] capital to be able to buy a €300,000 house and meet
[00:30:25] the specifications of €230,000
[00:30:28] in lending, with all that entails. The income criteria are roughly the same.
[00:30:32] With the "My Home 2" program, we currently see that we have up to
[00:30:36] €35,000 for married couples and €7,000 for one child, from
[00:30:39] €5,000 in the "My Home 2" program. It's very important that the income criteria are expanded,
[00:30:43] that is, generally, housing does not only concern the
[00:30:47] middle class of €20,000, in quotation marks, it now concerns
[00:30:51] the higher incomes of the country. The main
[00:30:54] question, however, is how is it possible to have only one
[00:30:57] program for acquisition.
