00:00:02our babies up to 2.5 years old to a nanny,
00:00:06often to a grandma nanny, our mom or our mother-in-law,
00:00:09so that we can have our children safe,
00:00:12so we can go back to our work and
00:00:16either the grandma nanny or the nanny we
00:00:19have met and trusted receives these
00:00:22€500, which is a significant income for her. Now, the
00:00:26ministry is also involved in addressing another
00:00:30important issue. Housing is one of the
00:00:33main challenges, Ms. Michailidou. I would like you
00:00:37to give us an overview of how the "renovate and rent"
00:00:41program is going and if we should expect anything else from it.
00:00:44There is a great need, and it is a need of every family, I would say, almost
00:00:48regardless of income, meaning both the most economically vulnerable
00:00:51families and middle- income
00:00:53families, especially the three out of ten who do not own
00:00:57their own home, face great difficulties.
00:01:00With housing, we launched another program after the success of
00:01:04"My Home One" and "My Home Two" where over 20,000
00:01:07families have acquired their own home with "My Home One" and
00:01:11"My Home Two". We launched "I Renovate My Home". "I Renovate
00:01:15My Home" has so far almost
00:01:1890,000 certifications, 89,000 to be
00:01:21precise. 9,000 for vacant
00:01:24homes that were entered. 9,000
00:01:26households applied to receive the
00:01:30subsidy for a home they own but keep vacant, and the renovation cost
00:01:34is very high today because the costs for building
00:01:37materials and construction work are now more
00:01:40expensive. The state provides up to
00:01:43€36,000,
00:01:45covering from 80% to 95% of the
00:01:48cost of these €36,000 to
00:01:51fix either your vacant home - these 9,000
00:01:54fellow citizens who can still apply until August
00:01:5831st - or the other 80,000
00:02:02fellow citizens who applied until July
00:02:0531st and received their certification to use this
00:02:08program to renovate their open home where
00:02:12they live, but because the construction costs and renovation
00:02:16costs are very high, they want to
00:02:19fix it because their windows are old, their floor is old, they need to
00:02:23fix the bathroom because it's the bathroom they
00:02:26inherited from their grandmother and grandfather, and
00:02:30it needs to be made better for the new generation and
00:02:33for themselves. So it's a program that has seen
00:02:36enormous response from
00:02:40the public. 325,000 Greeks
00:02:43entered the platform, and out of the 325,000 who entered the
00:02:46platform, 90,000 continued
00:02:48and received certification. This is a very large response from the public because
00:02:52it is a great, I wouldn't say
00:02:55simply a very substantial funding of up to €36,000 from the
00:02:59state, which is not a loan, it is a
00:03:0250% advance, the remaining
00:03:0550% after, of the 36,000, of which you get up to
00:03:0995%, meaning a single-parent, a
00:03:12three-child, a multi-child, a family with a disability,
00:03:16will receive 95% of these
00:03:19€36,000. It is a very great
00:03:22help for a family that does not have it, and it is a
00:03:25program that creates a good bridge, because "My Home One" and "My Home
00:03:29Two" preceded it.
00:03:31Especially in view of the Thessaloniki International Fair, if we should expect a
00:03:35"My Home Three". You will wait, it's
00:03:39less than a month away. We are doing
00:03:42a lot of work, many scenarios together with the
00:03:45Prime Minister, together with the staff of the Ministry of Finance. In
00:03:48politics, you know, Ms. Michailidou, usually actions speak louder
00:03:52than words, so your smile
00:03:55I interpret it, I leave it open to interpretations. For the
00:03:58family, we have 100 to 25 policies today, meaning
00:04:02if someone goes to family, if you want, please, write it down in the super below,
00:04:05at icogenia.gov.gr,
00:04:09they will see these 125 policies that the ministry has
00:04:13and today these are constantly enriched,
00:04:15we listen, we change, we created the
00:04:19nannies, we uploaded and abolished the income limits for
00:04:23nurseries, we made the personal assistant a
00:04:26permanent policy for the state, we have early intervention
00:04:30that gives €800 vouchers to children to do family-centered intervention
00:04:34at home with their parents to make
00:04:38children more functional. We are constantly
00:04:40looking at the framework of the financial possibilities that the economic
00:04:44development of the country allows us and based on these,
00:04:48we continuously enrich the social
00:04:51services of the state based on the needs that
00:04:54we discuss with households, and unfortunately, they are very
00:04:57increased. We wrote it down in the super.
00:05:03summer and holidays, the break is also
00:05:07a good period usually to make
00:05:10an assessment, to think.
00:05:13To think about omissions, to plan, and I ask you
00:05:16because we are discussing families, and the family also
00:05:19became the reason for you to receive quite a lot of criticism
00:05:23from the former Prime Minister Mr. Antonis Samaras,
00:05:27but not only from your colleagues in New Democracy and outside New
00:05:30Democracy. The reason was of course, it made a huge
00:05:33impression on me, and I say it with honor. That it was a
00:05:37statement you made at a conference on May 14, but
00:05:40the criticism came months later.
00:05:44This, of course, does not concern Mr. Samaras or anyone else. Criticism, but
00:05:48whoever criticizes, yes, whoever criticizes. In any
00:05:51case, do you feel the need to
00:05:54say "mea culpa" or do you believe that
00:05:58the statement you made was appropriate both for
00:06:01the question and overall for how
00:06:04you act and behave based on your
00:06:07position? I have
00:06:10answered this, but with great interest to
00:06:13answer again. I have a duty
00:06:16to serve the Greek people and I have a duty
00:06:19to serve Greek families, whatever
00:06:23these Greek families may be. And
00:06:25because, if you like, the time lag you mentioned, something
00:06:29that I said at a conference in May with a
00:06:33commotion happening in August, this
00:06:36helps the other person not to search for
00:06:40the information firsthand, and the cutting and misinformation
00:06:43technique is old, it's not
00:06:46new, and many times we have found ourselves, perhaps even you
00:06:50yourself, and we have all been victims of this.
00:06:53So if someone sits and listens, and please,
00:06:57then come to the ministry, call me and let's discuss it, because
00:07:01I believe that with great consistency and diligence and
00:07:04responsibility I serve the Greek family, if someone sits
00:07:08and listens to the first statement in this... May
00:07:11panel and the statement he made in a similar show
00:07:15about a week ago,
00:07:19what does he hear? What
00:07:22was the accusation from the former Prime Minister, whose work as former Prime Minister
00:07:26I personally respect? The accusation was that
00:07:29she supports or shows - I don't remember the verb that was used, to be
00:07:33honest - the woke agenda, and
00:07:35I ask, what is the woke agenda? Do you want to tell me, you who heard the
00:07:39statement? Was there anything
00:07:43in what I said, either the first time or the
00:07:46second time? I want you to tell me, and if you don't want to tell
00:07:50heard it, and I am not saying it antagonistically with Mr.
00:07:54Samaras. Your answer to
00:07:57the question of whether there is a nuclear family of the
00:08:01future begins with a, in my opinion,
00:08:04journalistically, and I told you earlier,
00:08:07with a somewhat problematic wording,
00:08:10but it ends with what you were telling us earlier, which is why I told you,
00:08:14if you want to say mea culpa regarding
00:08:18the scope of the answer, look, one
00:08:21cannot, that's why I say that the art of cutting is old. One
00:08:25cannot go out and cut something, when what is cut
00:08:28has been preceded by, and please, if you want, I have it ready as
00:08:32an excerpt to play it, because they had sent it to me, there
00:08:35is no family without social cohesion, there cannot be
00:08:39social cohesion without family, and... and the
00:08:43family is at the core of the
00:08:46continuation of our state and our nation. I am not saying this
00:08:49now, I am saying this as something that pre-existed the
00:08:53answer that was cut, it pre-existed the previous 30 seconds from
00:08:57May 2026.
00:09:00Now, if there is one answer to the
00:09:03Greek future family, what I say is
00:09:07that there is not one answer, there is
00:09:10the Greek nuclear, and because it is a more academic term
00:09:14that I understood confused some citizens, they ask what is nuclear?
00:09:17Nuclear is the traditional family, the family with the
00:09:20one couple that stays together until one of them dies, and with their
00:09:24children. Do
00:09:26only nuclear families exist? There is the nuclear
00:09:29family, the traditional family with one, two, three, four
00:09:33children. Unfortunately, and I repeat, unfortunately, families
00:09:36with more children, because the difficulties are great, are
00:09:40greater today than in the past. But
00:09:42besides nuclear traditional families, today
00:09:46there are also families that divorce,
00:09:49there are single-parent families where you may lose
00:09:52your partner, your husband, and raise your child alone.
00:09:56There are families who cannot,
00:09:59who try to have children and become
00:10:03adoptive or foster families,
00:10:06and we, and I specifically as Minister of Family, have a duty
00:10:09to be here for all of them.
00:10:12Look at the LSTAT data for 2025:
00:10:1542% of families divorce in
00:10:18Greece. No one gets married to divorce, I think
00:10:22that. No one really gets married to divorce. I have
00:10:26made my choice, I am from a family, from a
00:10:30couple that was together from 15 years old until my father passed
00:10:33away. I have made my choice to have my husband and our child,
00:10:37I hope we have more children. But
00:10:40this does not mean that because I made this choice, I will
00:10:44only serve couples who either have not lost
00:10:47their partner, or have not divorced, or cannot
00:10:51have children and want to. It is my
00:10:55obligation to help with more
00:10:59scoring points, with more favorable terms in funding, as
00:11:01we said before, families with children with disabilities, families who are
00:11:05single-parent, to be able to facilitate the procedures for
00:11:08adoption or fostering for families who cannot
00:11:12have children. All these are within the framework of the family,
00:11:15whether this family is called nuclear, traditional, no, it exists,
00:11:19yes, and I am proud to serve
00:11:22these families too, because they have
00:11:26different difficulties, and to close our eyes and say
00:11:30that because Domna is from a traditional nuclear
00:11:33family and she has decided to create her own
00:11:37traditional nuclear family, she will not serve the
00:11:40others is
00:11:43a shame, and I would be bad at
00:11:47my job, and it would be your responsibility to be here and tell me
00:11:51why you are not doing anything for single parents, why you are not doing anything.
00:12:00it concerned the part of families that consist of people of the same
00:12:03sex. Yes, but wait a minute, but everyone
00:12:07has to do what we said before, what you are telling me, we have Mr. Papas, the
00:12:11opposition here. What did I answer you? I answered that we want criticism, but we
00:12:14want it under one condition, we want it very much, but under one condition, which
00:12:18is that it should be substantiated and based on the truth. What happened?
00:12:22Many people say that if the former Prime Minister said
00:12:26that, Michailidou said something, Domna said something about these
00:12:29families. Did you see, did you hear, because you told me you heard
00:12:33it, did you see me saying anything, did you see me saying anything like that beyond
00:12:36that there are families who cannot have children
00:12:39or are large families or will be foster parents, and it concluded with the
00:12:43phrase about inclusion, on which, yes, obviously
00:12:46not. And pay attention, there was a, because
00:12:50we have started trying to grasp at
00:12:53words. And to give them our
00:12:57own interpretation. Is inclusion not about
00:13:00early childhood intervention so that children with disabilities can become
00:13:04as functional as possible? Is inclusion
00:13:07not a child who grows up in an institution being
00:13:11taken out of the institution and placed in a family so that they can have a
00:13:14normal life? Are these not inclusion? I spoke
00:13:18about this inclusion, and there are
00:13:21documents for it. Now, the word
00:13:25inclusion was in the title and description of the panel, that's why I used it, not because it is a
00:13:28word that I wanted, I have it in my daily life
00:13:32as a moral rule. We need
00:13:36inclusion in the Ministry of Family, because for
00:13:39all the, for the entire spectrum of families who cannot
00:13:43have children, of families who have a member with a disability, of
00:13:46families who have many children, of families
00:13:50who have divorced, of families where
00:13:53only one member of the couple
00:13:57is left, shouldn't we include them somehow? Now, if everyone
00:14:01wants to talk about something else, let them talk
00:14:04alone. They cannot put words in my mouth regarding specific
00:14:07statements and things that I did not say. Okay, Ms.
00:14:11Michailidou, because I have a message on my phone right now, and I know that you are
00:14:14also a minister who listens to citizens, a very
00:14:18brief comment on Kasos, this issue that has arisen there with the
00:14:22parents, with the nursery school that exists, but is not yet functioning.
00:14:26So, in Kasos, and I have already informed and I have already informed the Ministry
00:14:29of Interior, a
00:14:32municipal
00:14:34nursery school was built through a great private donation.
00:14:38There is an insurance company, and it's good to mention good things, Eurolife, which
00:14:41has set a goal to build municipal nursery
00:14:44schools in remote areas, either mountainous or island, so
00:14:48that children can have a safe place to be
00:14:51in the morning and parents can work.
00:14:55In Kasos, this company built such a school, and the
00:14:59municipality, along with the Ministry of Interior, have not yet managed, if
00:15:02I understand correctly, to issue the call for staff that is
00:15:06needed. Is there staff? I don't know if there is staff. The
00:15:10Ministry of Interior is looking into it, as it is its responsibility. I have tried
00:15:13as the person responsible for child protection, and
00:15:17I have taken
00:15:20it deeply to heart that we must have nursery schools
00:15:24everywhere, even if these nursery schools belong to the Ministry
00:15:28of Interior, meaning municipal ones, to
00:15:31try for them. The citizens,
00:15:34the inhabitants of Kasos in this case, are waiting
00:15:37for a solution, also with your help. Indeed,
00:15:41he spoke, today is Saturday, he
00:15:43already spoke on Thursday with the municipality,
00:15:47our Secretary General, in order to
00:15:50connect him with the Ministry of Interior and to
00:15:53try to make this process faster. What is the
00:15:57process, so I can tell you in case it interests citizens
00:16:01from other small municipalities? The process, as I understand it from the
00:16:04Ministry of Interior, again, it's not our ministry,
00:16:07is that the municipality changes its
00:16:10organization to include the nursery school, one,
00:16:14two, it creates its
00:16:17organizational chart to create these positions, the
00:16:21municipality announces these positions, and
00:16:25then it has to find someone from all over Greece to
00:16:28go and work there. So what
00:16:31we want and ask from the Ministry of Interior is how to have a
00:16:35faster process in these cases, because it's a shame that
00:16:38it's been a year. So, for this front as well, thank you very much. Thank you very much. I
00:16:42thank you very much. Have a good morning. We thank you too. If you go on
00:16:46vacation soon, then let's get up, let's get up, let's
00:16:49get up. Of course, to an island a bit further north, of course, and
00:16:52a beloved island, I would say, because I visited it for the first
00:16:56time, I must tell you, this year, and I was impressed.
00:16:59Did you go? I went, of course. Georgia, a very good
00:17:02friend of mine, is from there, and she also gives a lot.
00:17:06Her office, but also on the subject, where will we go to tell our viewers?
00:17:10We will go to Chios, because we will find Spyridoula
00:17:13Sfania, and you can already see her on your screens in
00:17:16a very beautiful landscape there.
00:17:20Good morning, Spyridoula.
00:17:23Chrysoula and Giorgos, good morning.
00:17:26Good morning from Pyrgi of Chios, where the scent of the
00:17:29sea blends with that of mastic, the
00:17:33golden tear, a medicine according to Hippocrates,
00:17:36a source of privilege in the Ottoman Empire, and
00:17:40today a pleasure, but also
00:17:43work for the mastic growers of the
00:17:46island. Next to us is the president of the Chios
00:17:50Mastic Growers Association, Mr. George
00:17:53Toumpas. Good day to you, good day to all, good day to you.
00:17:56We are here, children, they have done what is called the
00:17:59"table setting", as you will see below, meaning
00:18:03they have started spreading
00:18:05it with what is this called? Mr. President, we call it "white soil".
00:18:09They have started covering the trees,
00:18:13and soon they will start collecting them. In fact, we see
00:18:16Angelica here filming us. Mr. President, how is the
00:18:20harvest? This is an excellent camera, not just a
00:18:22camera. Yes, directly. We are doing
00:18:26well. We are in the third and almost fourth stage. We will reach
00:18:29six. Due to weather conditions this year, it has been very good so far,
00:18:33at least. We hope that until the end of the harvest, that is, until we
00:18:36take the. from the field, the situation will evolve as it is today.
00:18:40How many trees are there in the Chios plain? 24
00:18:43mastic villages, 24 mastic villages, approximately 1.5 million
00:18:46trees on the island of mastic, and
00:18:491670 are active producers. And
00:18:53how many grams, kilos, does the tree
00:18:56produce? Now we are in a mastic grove with new trees and
00:19:00lowland ones produce about 250 grams per tree, but the average is around
00:19:03150 to 200 grams per tree.
00:19:07So we also had the devastating fires. What happened in this
00:19:11case? Were many mastic trees burned? Yes, for us the biggest
00:19:14danger is fires and rain is secondary. Last year we had a
00:19:17fire in Ai Giorgis
00:19:21Vavilon, fortunately we lost, not many, we were about to lose about 20,000
00:19:25trees, but in the past decade, in 2012 we lost
00:19:28210,000 trees and in 2016 about 60,000
00:19:32trees. The good thing is that people are trying to revive.
00:19:35They are revitalizing
00:19:37old crops and we are happy to say that
00:19:41at least in terms of plant capital we are getting richer and richer.
00:19:44Giorgos and Chrisa, what a beautiful word
00:19:47"anachinoni" because "schinos" is this tree.
00:19:51It exists everywhere but only here in Chios and
00:19:55in southern Chios does it produce this precious liquid, mastic,
00:19:58which I have touched a little and want to keep smelling my hands.
00:20:02I barely touched it. It smells so good, as if
00:20:06we were smelling it too.
00:20:08How many young people are involved in this profession?
00:20:12Yes, the good thing is that in recent years young people are coming to
00:20:15farming, young people who would otherwise have left either abroad
00:20:18or to Athens, or because we have
00:20:22many sailors here, or they would get a brochure to
00:20:25"embark" as we say in Chios. Quite a lot of young people, this is the challenge, to give
00:20:29these young people prospects and income so that they can
00:20:33continue and stay in our place. Children, Mr. President is listening to you, I don't know.
00:20:37Ask him. I think we have transported you with fragrance. We are leaving. We
00:20:41are leaving. You did wonderfully, we don't need to
00:20:45say anything. Our good morning to beautiful Chios. Let's wish
00:20:49a good summer.
00:20:52Good morning to both of you, have a good continuation, thank you very much, take
00:20:55care, let's take a breath too, let Nikos Minas
00:20:58fill his till with commercials and we'll be back in a little while.
00:21:38When you see me
00:21:41cry.
00:21:44September 14 at Kalimarmaro the great
00:21:47concert of "All Together We Can.gr".
00:22:11Information at "alltogetherwecan.gr".
00:22:13They say that
00:22:19man fights many battles in his
00:22:21life,
00:22:24but he never chooses the most important one.
00:22:27Good morning, ladies, how are you today?
00:22:31Stefanos Lazaridis, the TV presenter, booked an appointment, and
00:22:34I squeezed him in. Is it too dark for you? I told you I wanted it
00:22:37lighter. He's divorcing, you should take him as a client for your son, the lawyer.
00:22:41Stefanos Lazaridis is not dangerous, he is a man who was
00:22:45swept away by the intensity of his marriage, where he was wronged,
00:22:49meaning what.
00:22:57Every great story begins with a
00:22:59conflict.
00:23:02Excuse me, I will take it very personally, colleague. I am also a
00:23:05lawyer. I enjoyed it. What he asks for is justice and safety.
00:23:09Anger is the worst advisor to a person. Intrafamily
00:23:12violence is a choice and it is a trauma that remains. I believe that
00:23:16love, when it is true. Anyway, I don't believe in the
00:23:21animosity between a man and a woman. One
00:23:24case brought their paths into conflict, and when two people
00:23:28refuse to back down, no one knows where the
00:23:32war ends for you and where love begins for me.
00:23:35We have the same last name, and you came to rent the office next door. When you came, you didn't see the sign
00:23:39for my office. Of course, my son is a celebrity, he sells, and my daughter
00:23:43is rising, capable, and diligent. You did it
00:23:46purposefully to exploit my name. Hush. Let me
00:23:50tell you something, history has shown that this Antony and
00:23:53Cleopatra did not have a good ending. Make sure to
00:23:57confirm it for us. Antony, this
00:24:00journey has no end.
00:24:02I want you,
00:24:05Antony and Cleopatra.
00:24:07But why is the
00:24:15song missing?
00:24:19Sky

00:25:11contest on the radio never stops. So
