00:11:36update, 20 minutes before our clocks show exactly
00:11:39morning, a special good morning to Patra, we saw a very
00:11:43nice image a little while ago from the Achaean capital, good morning to
00:11:47Giorgos Karafotias, he is watching us from
00:11:50Lygourio, Elena is watching us from Chios,
00:11:53Christos. As
00:12:07well
00:12:10as Athanasios Alexopoulos from Syrina
00:12:13Arkadias, we see you everywhere Athina Papakosta, everywhere Sotiris

00:12:20wishes, may you be well Sotiris, may you be well, thank you
00:12:24very much and he tells us. For Samarinas, Sotiris
00:12:27Kyparissis, we will try to have a connection, you know Samarinas,
00:12:30is the highest
00:12:34village in Greece, that's right, Samarinas
00:12:37is fantastic, so we will also have a connection, we will pursue that to see
00:12:41Samarinas as well. Speaking now of communication, we have
00:12:45at your disposal, you will see again, social
00:12:49yes, the social media where you can find us, Nikos
00:12:52Andritsos on Instagram @ Andritsos as well as on
00:12:56Facebook Nikos Andritsos, don't forget the accents, yes
00:13:00we should put accents because we often forget them, it's good to
00:13:03emphasize them. Athina Papakosta is the account
00:13:07on Instagram where you can communicate and connect
00:13:11with Athina and of course the email of the show
00:13:14is very simple, proini
00:13:16enimerosi@sky.gr we also have a second email,
00:13:20katangelies@sky.gr, an account which remains
00:13:23active throughout the year. You can send
00:13:27your messages and your complaints to it in order to open the
00:13:31discussion here on Skype and essentially cover the issues that
00:13:34concern you, trouble you and create problems for you.
00:13:38So this also exists. Now let's
00:13:41see some other news. Iro is with us.
00:13:44Good morning, good morning. You're going to take us to the region for news from the
00:13:48region. Good day. You are very nicely dressed, I really like
00:13:52the combination of things. Nice and
00:14:02let's not forget our colleagues because as we were saying earlier it's a
00:14:05chain, both television and of course radio, we are a
00:14:09chain of professionals who all
00:14:11together, each in their field, contribute their bit and the result is
00:14:15this. Exactly, above all the team. So let's start from Mykonos.
00:14:19We will start from Mykonos. The end came to the case of theft of items worth
00:14:2375,000€. as police officers located a
00:14:26very expensive Rolex watch and an
00:14:30Hermes bag carefully hidden under a rock in an
00:14:33outdoor area near the holy church of
00:14:37Agios Patapios. The operation was recorded on video, exactly
00:14:40what we see on our screens right now, the police officers retrieving the
00:14:44very expensive watch from its hiding place. In the case, a
00:14:4734-year-old Greek driver was arrested, who is accused of
00:14:51removing the items from a 29-year-old Ukrainian
00:14:55tourist. Indeed, indeed, these
00:14:58things happened, strange case, of course, which the
00:15:01authorities are investigating, let's see what
00:15:04happened in Lamia, impressive video, an
00:15:07unusual accident occurred in
00:15:11Lamia, a new fountain literally,
00:15:14Nikos, a van crashed into
00:15:17a fire hydrant in the Red Cross park,
00:15:20dislodging it and causing a huge jet of water
00:15:24as we see. With a height of at least over 7 to
00:15:278 meters and created an improvised fountain
00:15:30as we see. The DEI Lamia
00:15:33crew, of course, rushed to the scene and cut
00:15:36off the supply.
00:15:43The good thing, of course, in this case we must ascertain, because nothing is
00:15:46obvious in this country, is that there was a fire
00:15:50hydrant and it was working and with very good pressure,
00:15:54right? But the problem is that we are ascertaining this for the wrong
00:15:57reasons, because Lamia, you know, has three
00:16:01beautiful squares, and to go around the city center, you have to
00:16:04pass through all three. It's Park, Lao, and
00:16:08Freedom squares, if I remember correctly, so
00:16:11here, maybe it's an opportunity to think about a fountain next
00:16:14time, something good at least, and something working correctly in the
00:16:18municipality. Thank you very much,
00:16:21good morning, for the information you gave us. And with this
00:16:25video, we will go to talk about the real estate market, a
00:16:29topic that concerns many, a topic
00:16:32that still has many things that can be
00:16:35corrected. The driver. In this discussion, the
00:16:39president of Pomida will be
00:16:43our guide, whom we will welcome. Mr.
00:16:46Stratos Paradias, good day to you, good morning to you and to all who are watching us today,
00:16:49good morning Mr. President, how are you doing?
00:16:53We are doing great, we are at our posts, we have various issues
00:16:56to deal with, we come and go,
00:17:00and we are always present. What I observe is that
00:17:04Pomida does not go on vacation, because emails
00:17:07keep coming from you, this communication about the
00:17:11issues you deal with, and they are not
00:17:14few, right? Because in Greece, there are always news about
00:17:17real estate, this time
00:17:20for many, for many decades when we started to
00:17:23create Pomida, I told my collaborators then when we gathered that
00:17:27look, I don't know if we will achieve anything, I don't know if we will make a dent, but
00:17:31one thing I can promise you is that we will never
00:17:34be bored. Literally.
00:17:40And this has been absolutely proven because for private
00:17:43property it is the most important asset, the savings of the Greek
00:17:47people, the most important thing, and as a great
00:17:50Austrian philosopher, Hayek, said, property
00:17:54is very important not only for those who have it, but also for those who do not
00:17:57have it and want to acquire it. You understand, therefore,
00:18:00that there is no aspect of
00:18:03public or private life in which real estate is not involved.
00:18:07Either as an investment, or as a savings product, or as
00:18:11a product of necessity of its use, whether professional or
00:18:14residential, and it is always in the news, exactly, and
00:18:18we are talking, Mr. Paradias, both for owners and for tenants.
00:18:22Now, one of the issues that are in public discussion and keep
00:18:25coming up, has to do with closed houses,
00:18:29right, with those properties that remain closed, have not been put on the
00:18:32market. We all know the pressure that exists in housing and the
00:18:36high prices in... in rents and there is this program for
00:18:40house renovation, but there are issues around
00:18:44this and around closed houses, yes, the goal was for them to enter the game
00:18:47and we see them remaining outside. Look, we pointed them out,
00:18:51but you know, many times I think, the people who set the
00:18:54conditions for citizens' inclusion
00:18:58in these programs, perhaps they are more focused on
00:19:01how to exclude
00:19:05interested parties rather than how to include them. I'm surprised by the
00:19:09fact that many, many
00:19:13conditions are imposed which effectively exclude those who
00:19:17can implement such a program. That is, the specific renovation program
00:19:20may foresee a
00:19:23generous amount which
00:19:26reaches a certain limit for large houses of 120 square meters, but in
00:19:30reality, someone who does not have their own money cannot implement
00:19:34it. So when you set income criteria,
00:19:37in reality you exclude those people who can chip in the remaining
00:19:41money and do what they need to do. And in
00:19:45this specific case, I must tell you that the reason
00:19:48why only 10% of those who participate in the program have vacant
00:19:52properties is due to the strict specifications
00:19:55provided by this regulation, this program. Let me take
00:19:58you back, I will tell you this: Look, at this moment
00:20:02we have a wave of protests from
00:20:05citizens who acquired the property this year,
00:20:08last year, and while their predecessors, whether they inherited
00:20:12it from their parents, or it was sold to them, meet the
00:20:16conditions, because this house was empty before, it had no
00:20:19electricity consumption and all that,
00:20:23nevertheless, nevertheless, without the law nowhere providing for it, without the program
00:20:27openly stating it anywhere, it seems that the software used
00:20:30in these cases cannot
00:20:33calculate the time of the
00:20:35transferors. The calculation of the time of the
00:20:39transferors runs throughout our country's civil law,
00:20:42in matters of usufruct, in matters of possession, it is always
00:20:46calculated in inheritance matters, the time of the two providers, here it tells you.
00:20:50And you got it now, we don't care, even if you had the house for three years, let's say,
00:20:53we won't sit around looking to find out what the previous owner did with it. But
00:20:57this is wrong, it is a mistake that leaves many people out who could have
00:21:01implemented this. You should also keep in mind that this mistake, this
00:21:05inability of the system to identify previous owners, has created a very
00:21:09serious problem for us regarding the three-year tax exemption for houses
00:21:12that were closed for three years. That is, even though
00:21:15someone, even though someone had their house closed for one year, and their father
00:21:19had it for another two, another three, another five years before, well, without the law saying
00:21:23anywhere, without any decision or circular from the tax authorities
00:21:27providing for it, well, they cut all these people off, because they say we
00:21:30want you to have had it for three years. So this
00:21:34leaves people out, of course, with our announcement
00:21:37the day before yesterday, we highlighted the general problems, that is, the state has not
00:21:41done as much as it should for those who
00:21:44want to put their houses on the market.
00:21:48We, for example, propose. Not only that a house that has been closed for three years
00:21:51can be put on the market with the three-year tax exemption, but also any house that
00:21:55for any reason today is unrented, any house
00:21:59where someone lives and who leaves to go live in another house, so that
00:22:03supply also increases, and I think that this is the desired outcome from all
00:22:06sides. Any newly built house that someone finished but it doesn't suit them to go
00:22:10and live there, the state should give them this incentive, any house that was just inherited and
00:22:14is empty, just bought and is empty, just converted from
00:22:18commercial use to residential use, just
00:22:21renovated, or houses that belong to legal
00:22:25entities, of all kinds, all these should be included there.
00:22:28Also, we should have further improvement in tax
00:22:32rates and mainly, above all, we should address
00:22:35the enormous, endemic problem of uncertainty for every
00:22:39owner regarding the actual intentions
00:22:43of someone who appears before them and asks to rent their house.
00:22:47Be careful,
00:22:50for tenants, there is also a small percentage, but very
00:22:54active, unfortunately, with clearly antisocial behavior, who
00:22:57settle in people's houses from the very beginning, with the very
00:23:00beginning plan, with the very beginning intention, not to pay absolutely
00:23:04anything. We are not talking about tenants, we are talking about
00:23:07delinquent individuals, for whom it is their way of life, to move from
00:23:11house to house, not paying absolutely anything, neither rent, nor common charges. So every
00:23:14owner should have a way to find
00:23:18out what exactly is happening.
00:23:30Already, already the Ministry of Finance, the General Secretariat of Private Debt, is
00:23:34proceeding with the establishment of a platform which was given the
00:23:38task by the independent authority of credit assessment to
00:23:41implement it and to issue a rating for every
00:23:44transacting party in general throughout the country, for every transacting party. So we are talking
00:23:48about, let's say, a rating agency.
00:23:53without the registration of any personal
00:23:56data, how much money someone has, simply what
00:24:00is their, what is their respect, their behavior
00:24:03exactly. Yes, this has to
00:24:06do with financial institutions and so on. Now,
00:24:10because time is pressing, the day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, that this
00:24:13will not be used for leases, we are not doing anything. Yes, yes,
00:24:17yes, to give this to the banks, yes, yes, yes. So,
00:24:20so you want this to be extended to leases as well, so that there are
00:24:24safeguards for owners. Now, let's go to another
00:24:28issue that Pomida has highlighted, and it has to do with those
00:24:31properties, Athena, ladies and gentlemen,
00:24:35where they have attachments, they have encumbrances, and they have
00:24:38attachments from the state, and now
00:24:42with the provisions of the Hadjidakis law, very
00:24:46recently the relevant law was passed, there can be.
00:25:02leaves the situation to expire as it is waiting for the owner to find a
00:25:05buyer. When the owner finds a buyer for this property, the
00:25:09state says the following: How much are you selling it for? 100,000. Indeed, how much is the
00:25:13debt? 100,000. Yes, great. I want all the money. Why should the
00:25:16owner rush to do the
00:25:46which says the following: If you find...
00:25:51your property, I will allow you to, I will lift the seizure, I will allow
00:25:55you to sell it, I don't want all the money, I want a percentage of
00:25:58it, which percentage will vary, it will be at least
00:26:0125% that it will take. I will vary depending on your tax
00:26:05compliance with me, that is, if you submit tax
00:26:09declarations, you get enough points, if you are consistent and have tried as
00:26:12much as you can to keep the various arrangements you have made, you will still get
00:26:16points, if you are generally cooperative with the tax authorities, you will still get
00:26:20certain points,
00:26:23and a specific decision will be issued and it will reach
00:26:26the notary's office and the state will not take 100%, it will take 25, 30,
00:26:3040, 45, 50, in any case, however,
00:26:34a significant part will remain for the owner so that the
00:26:37sale can proceed. Question, Mr. Paradias, what will
00:26:41happen in the case where someone sells their property, for example,
00:26:45for 100,000, and a fictitious amount is declared,
00:26:48because let's not hide it, these things happen, and declares 50,000,
00:26:52for example. This, this is explicitly prohibited by the provision for the following
00:26:55reason: because no kind of lifting of
00:26:59seizure will be approved if the declared price is not at least.
00:27:28who implemented a legislative
00:27:32initiative which has no precedent, that is, the Vice President of the government to exercise
00:27:35legislative initiative and passed a law with 14 provisions in favor of
00:27:39citizens, very important, we have them on our website
00:27:42pomida.gr, whoever is interested, there are many
00:27:44issues, one third of these provisions concern purely
00:27:48property owners, of course we are interested in all the others too, because it facilitates
00:27:52the lives of citizens, but there mainly we have a very important
00:27:56improvement there, that is, in many cases the presumption of
00:27:59state ownership for the possession of
00:28:02is lifted and allows people who have legal titles not for the
00:28:06120-130 years that the legislation required until now, but for
00:28:0940 years, for 50, for 30, depending on the
00:28:12good faith of each person, whether they have a title or not, it solves, that is,
00:28:15problems in urban properties and mainly in rural
00:28:19properties, so that the state at some point stops claiming
00:28:22everyone and everything and forever. We keep all these,
00:28:26thank you very much sir, I thank you, I thank
00:28:29you too, good day to you, be well, thank you. Good day to you,
00:28:33thank you very much, the housing issue is a very, very big
00:28:36issue, whether you are talking about owners, or
00:28:40even more so about tenants, because we all know where
00:28:43the prices of properties are, and
00:28:46of rents, so it is a big one. For a house, let's say,
00:28:5060 square meters, semi- renovated, and not even
00:28:53very well, in central areas of Athens, the
00:28:57price is soaring. That is, not everyone is a couple,
00:29:01there are people who live. Yes, yes, and also, you know, on the one hand there is
00:29:04the market and inflation galloping, and there is also the average wage.
00:29:08Yes, wages may be increasing, but the issue is that the cost
00:29:11of living is also increasing overall. Wages increase, inflation comes, and it's like you haven't received any
