00:01:44Rena Krivopoulou. She's constantly contradicting herself about the alcohol
00:01:47issue. Always about her past and anything related to alcoholism. If
00:01:51any alcohol consumption continues, your baby
00:01:55is in serious danger. Here, what else do you want to
00:01:57hear?
00:06:12Because we have inflation data that has been released for various
00:06:15sectors. We haven't seen such high inflation since
00:06:18February 2023. Eurostat's first
00:06:21estimate now shows that we are at 5.6% in October
00:06:25from 5.1% in September. I should tell you that only Lithuania and
00:06:28Bulgaria saw their prices rise at a faster rate. Yes, we are third
00:06:32along with Italy. Let's look at the data that concerns us
00:06:36most, which is our fuel. So, as you
00:06:40understand, the price of unleaded has increased. We have seen it.
00:06:44The big wound is energy now. When energy rises by 26.5%,
00:06:48guys, this is unmanageable. There is no way. This drags everything along. It drags
00:06:51our universe. High since September 2022. So we have
00:06:55unleaded diesel LPG. Look, despite the
00:06:58subsidies, how much oil has gone up too, of course.
00:07:02Plus 35.7% with 40 cents subsidy, and
00:07:06electricity has increased by 7%.
00:07:09Big, despite the agreement, sir. For some
00:07:13products, and the agreement on food. We are below
00:07:16the European average, but here too, things have taken their course
00:07:20because we have inflation in this sector
00:07:23accelerated to 1.4 1.6
00:07:251.4. We are below the community average.
00:07:29I should tell you that the national initiative for food reduction will continue with
00:07:3399 with 994 codes and will gradually be added
00:07:36to the platform. How much does it cost? I think,
00:07:40however, that as far as this part is concerned, I think
00:07:44they live it every day. Let's
00:07:47listen to them. Tell me something that doesn't
00:07:50go up. The money isn't enough. They don't get 850. The money isn't enough.
00:07:54They have stopped oil heating despite having individual heating.
00:07:57We stopped putting oil in years ago. Natural gas car. Last year
00:08:01I put 1.15. This year I put 1.85. There's no
00:08:05problem. It's perhaps one of the few times I look at the
00:08:08receipts because I say something is not right. You can't buy five
00:08:11things and... give 30, 40-50.
00:08:15Thank you very much, Maria. We wish you well. Let's greet the
00:08:19Minister of National Economy and Finance, President of the Eurogroup, Kyriakos Pierrakakis. Good morning
00:08:22to you. Welcome. Let's continue,
00:08:26please, Mr. Minister, if you want, before we go to the topic we will
00:08:29discuss thoroughly, private debt, i.e., services and
00:08:32so on. Here we saw the subsidies before, in the middle, on fuel and so on. Will
00:08:36this continue and for how long can we, how long can we afford to continue this? First of all, I should say
00:08:40that the data you presented before
00:08:43on food. Greece has a better performance, but energy is what
00:08:47drives inflation both in Greece and in our wider
00:08:51region. You mentioned Italy. This is something we have encountered for several years. Overall,
00:08:55in the Eurozone, there is a big challenge at the moment. It has to do with the straits, with the
00:08:58closure of the Hormuz Strait and the war. But Greece is one of the
00:09:02countries that try, within their capabilities, to support
00:09:06as many people as they can, for as long as they can. We have given
00:09:09over 1.44 billion from the crisis
00:09:13purely for energy measures, and I will tell you
00:09:16why we are here to discuss everything we say in Parliament
00:09:19these days. We will be in Parliament next week for the
00:09:22DETH bill, which increases the disposable income of citizens.
00:09:26If one adds all these and the subsidies that are given in Attica to
00:09:30support the people we just saw, and the increase in
00:09:34disposable income, we will be by the side of every citizen for as long
00:09:37as it takes, precisely because Greece has built capabilities. Yes,
00:09:41but do you have the... the reserves, because this thing doesn't seem to stop, at least
00:09:45until Trump decides. Well, of course, in the foreseeable future, no. For how long
00:09:49can you do it? As I told you, we have built capabilities as a country. You will see.
00:09:53You also saw in the draft budget already some money that has been
00:09:55budgeted, but I think we have proven until today that in every crisis
00:09:59we had responsiveness. I know that this, in relation to the people's
00:10:03expectation, the bar is always higher, but on the other hand, I think that the
00:10:06people will also acknowledge that there are reflexes, there is
00:10:10speed, and there is also a state that intervenes precisely with the concern that
00:10:14we understand the problems and we want to be there. Let's go, Mr. Minister, to
00:10:18Parliament today. You are voting on the bill. You have also requested a roll-call
00:10:21vote. You did this. You
00:10:25used this. Why did you do that? Let's start a bit with that and then go to the substance.
00:10:29I also heard your discussion with Mrs. Bakoyannis about the political
00:10:33vocabulary and how it has changed, and I think that the core of the
00:10:37issue is not what we say in Parliament. The core of the issue is what
00:10:40the people who are watching us right now say: do you help them or do you not help them?
00:10:44Do you give them tools or do you not give them tools? So here we have a
00:10:47bill which, not the benevolent, the
00:10:51objective one, will say that it comes to set rules and support
00:10:54it. The opposition tried to
00:10:57conceal this in the previous days. So, precisely because
00:11:01we have an opposition that claims it wants to support
00:11:04debtors, let's be specific. In a roll-call
00:11:07vote, we put all the issues down. Do we want to set
00:11:11rules for services? Do we want to set deadlines for services? Does it help the
00:11:15debtor 100%? Do we want to impose fines?
00:11:18We have increased fines tenfold in the services law. Will
00:11:21the opposition vote for this or not? So, beyond... the political
00:11:25competition, let's say we are in an election period. All these
00:11:28apply. Mr. Androulakis yesterday, because some of the proposals
00:11:31I saw, excuse me, are unrealistic. I mean,
00:11:35let me quickly tell you a specific one. We are talking about the protection of the
00:11:39primary residence. The government has brought a change to the
00:11:41out-of-court settlement. I will come to that. What does PASOK
00:11:45say? It says that first there must be bankruptcy of the citizen.
00:11:48Is there anyone watching us who wants to go bankrupt first to protect his
00:11:51house? For
00:11:55regulation in the out-of-court settlement, we started this at the end of
00:11:58September so that one can protect their primary residence through the
00:12:02out-of-court settlement. 675 people who are watching us have entered
00:12:05this, and it is already a tool. In other
00:12:08things, let me tell you another example that might sound
00:12:11interesting.
00:12:14PASOK says in its proposal that you can buy your
00:12:18loan, like the servicer, at a fraction of the exact amount.
00:12:22It sounds pleasant. It sounds
00:12:25like it. On the other hand, I will tell you two things that were also mentioned in Parliament yesterday:
00:12:29First, if this is true, then why should anyone
00:12:32repay a loan in our country again? Why should this happen? Second,
00:12:36so that they don't wait to buy it cheap. Yes. Second, why should the bank
00:12:39give a loan again if it knows that these loans will not be serviced? All the struggle we
00:12:43are making, and rightly so. I will tell you that the banks must give more loans.
00:12:47They have the highest growth rate in Europe, but we are still below the
00:12:51European average, of course. So, wait a minute, let me finish
00:12:55this. Even Velopoulos's proposal that I heard yesterday said
00:12:58something more than that, that there should be a 10% premium for the servicers.
00:13:02You know, here the issue is not a pleasant one. The issue
00:13:06is to be able to help every person who is watching us. People
00:13:09are anxious about whether they will be able to repay their loans. They want a helping
00:13:13hand from the state. So we want to help those who
00:13:16want to pay. They just tell you that for seven years you left
00:13:19debtors unprotected and you remembered them now that it's an election
00:13:23period. I disagree with that, and I'll tell you
00:13:27why. I'll only tell you about the things that have been done in the last year by the
00:13:30Ministry of Finance. Do you want the increase in the attachment
00:13:34limit? Do you want the reduction in the amount to enter the out-of-court settlement from
00:13:3810,000 to 5,000€? Do you want the 120 installments,
00:13:42if you didn't get them
00:13:49Katseli law, for which I have expressed my reservations personally, because the
00:13:5240% should not have... The 40% should not
00:13:56have been included in the Katseli law. The people who needed to protect their home
00:14:00were running to the courts for 16 years. A decision was issued by the Supreme
00:14:04Court. The decision did not impose retroactivity on the government, and we went and
00:14:07imposed it retroactively. So it is very
00:14:10hypocritical, you know, for someone to come and say that we don't want to protect and
00:14:14help the people.
00:14:17Let's go to Article 23. You brought this, under
00:14:20pressure from the opposition, you withdrew it. And the question
00:14:23is twofold. The question is twofold. Why did you bring it, why did you withdraw it?
00:14:27Your opponents also accuse you that it was a command from the servicers.
00:14:30What is true here? I will first say that for someone to come and say that we brought
00:14:34a law at the command of the servicers, which sets deadlines for them, sets a cap
00:14:38on advances, and increases their fines tenfold, do you
00:14:41imagine, do you imagine any reasonable person in this country that
00:14:45the servicers came and said, "Kyriakos Pierrakakis, increase my
00:14:48fine tenfold, give me a deadline,"
00:14:51and put a cap on the advance payment and so on? These are ridiculous things.
00:14:55Exactly. Let me tell you what this
00:14:59article said first. This article did not say that the servicer could unilaterally
00:15:03go and execute. This article
00:15:06spoke of a consensual process and did not remove judicial
00:15:10protection because Article 933 of the Code of Civil
00:15:13Procedure is always there. People could go to court and file an appeal against the
00:15:17execution. But because these are also technical issues, what
00:15:21did we realize about a bill which
00:15:24entirely, 100%, goes to set rules for
00:15:28servicers and to give rights to the people who are watching us? The
00:15:32opposition tried to play a game precisely because of the election period, that this
00:15:35is the opposite. It turned white into black. So we
00:15:39removed this privilege from them, and the last point is that they should not
00:15:42vote. Precisely for this reason, we requested a
00:15:46roll-call vote to see what. You know, political
00:15:50competition exists among politicians. It is legitimate.
00:15:53I am also a candidate MP. All these
00:15:56are valid, of course. But put all these aside. There is something that transcends us. When
00:16:00people need us, they need a state to give them a hand, to help
00:16:03someone who wants to pay, to say, "I want to get my head above
00:16:07water." We all have a responsibility that transcends all this political
00:16:10game. So let's see what this responsibility is and if they will keep it for
00:16:14the fixed interest rate of 3%. Let's explain it a bit. Can you explain
00:16:17it to us? Because here you
00:16:21say in your forecast that it concerns vulnerable and eligible debtors of the
00:16:24out-of-court settlement. Why only them and not all those who have
00:16:28joined us? One example for us to understand this. The
00:16:31example where one can win, there is this exception, the restriction. Let's look at
00:16:35everything. The example, first of all, is. For someone who, for example,
00:16:39owes 100,000€ for twenty years, the benefit can be
00:16:42up to 28,000€. Indeed,
00:16:45for us, the main tool is called out-of-court settlement. Why is it called
00:16:48out-of-court settlement? Because it helps the vulnerable most, and I think
00:16:51that's right. I mean, if
00:16:55we asked the people, "Do you want the vulnerable to have more
00:16:58privileges, more provisions?" Yes, we would say. So, the
00:17:02out-of-court settlement helps the vulnerable more. We
00:17:05expanded it recently to include the middle class.
00:17:09So what do we say there? There was a 3% interest rate at the
00:17:12beginning for the first few years, then it was floating, it was also taking the
00:17:16Euribor, and we are in an era and we are in an era of fixed
00:17:20high interest rates, as you know. So we made it fixed, because first, because there is
00:17:24this great benefit, second, and for another reason, beyond the
00:17:27benefit, people who want to pay cannot live with this
00:17:31anxiety, especially in this era. So we say that by saying that this is
00:17:353%, by putting it at... at 3%, we
00:17:39also tell these people that there is now predictability. Now,
00:17:42you know, in all this, as I told you at the beginning, there must be a
00:17:45balance. In everything there must be a balance. What
00:17:49do I mean? Even in the vocabulary. And I will
00:17:52come to what you are asking me. On the one hand, rules must be
00:17:55set for the servicers 100%. You know how many times
00:17:58people grab me, they talk to me and say, "I call the phone, they don't answer
00:18:01the phone." Right? "I don't have clarity on how much
00:18:05money I owe." The people are right there. So rules must be set, and whoever
00:18:09does not follow the rules after this framework will suffer
00:18:12all the consequences, which are many. I urge people to
00:18:16read what the legislative text says. This is one
00:18:19side, the one logical argument. Do you know what the other
00:18:23is? I don't want to see again the picture I saw yesterday in Parliament, all
00:18:27this toxicity. Because on the other hand, we experienced the toxicity of
00:18:302015, where everything was said. We
00:18:34don't want to crucify anyone. We want to help.
00:18:41I really liked what I saw earlier from Mrs. Bakoyannis, who is an official with a huge
00:18:45career, and she comes and says, "I'm sorry for what I
00:18:48said, I made a mistake." So this official with this
00:18:52career says it. We are in an election period, and it is good to
00:18:55keep a measure because we are speaking for society. This
00:18:59is our job. People have voted for us to help them, not to be
00:19:03MPs. So the image in Parliament
00:19:05yesterday.
00:19:07It was indeed, but you also reinforce it. This is
00:19:10tango. I disagree, because I have to answer, I mean you,
00:19:14not personally, answer. When I hear things that are
00:19:17out of reality, when white turns black, excuse me, I have a responsibility to
00:19:21be able to answer with data. You said, for example, that you characterized Tsipras as the
00:19:24father of fans. Why did you say that?
00:19:27Okay, here, allow
00:19:29me. Now, on
00:19:31loans.
00:19:34Mr. Tsipras denounces a process
00:19:38which, excuse me, he brought. It bears his signature far and wide. He can do a
00:19:41rebranding, he cannot change his government's gazettes. He brought electronic
00:19:45auctions, indeed, he brought fans to Greece. He
00:19:48gave an interview the other day in which he says not even 1€
00:19:52passed to fans during my tenure. I spoke with the Bank of
00:19:55Greece. I asked, "Can you tell me how much passed until 2019?" They tell me 18
00:19:59billion. 18 billion then. 18 billion before '19, March
00:20:02'19. Indeed. I say it in Parliament. Mr. Tsipras's
00:20:06party recognizes 375 million,
00:20:10they say, ultimately passed in housing loans. We are still
00:20:13how much short of reaching 18 billion? 17.625
00:20:16billion. I want to believe that we will find them in the coming weeks. They will
00:20:20remember them then. Now I'll
00:20:23stop joking and say this: this
00:20:26is a very serious matter for them to think they can
00:20:30erase history. Greece went through very difficult years. The
00:20:34word "truth" etymologically means "not to forget."
00:20:38Our job is not to repeat the same mistakes, regardless of which party
00:20:42we represent. Here we must help the
00:20:45people, remember that there are conscientious debtors. We must
00:20:49maintain balance. The economy. We must not
00:20:51let Greece return to the situation it found itself in, and at the same time, we must
00:20:55help all these people who are right in all this. But people, you know,
00:20:59also see cases, many cases recently,
00:21:02with many scandals. Cases
00:21:05where these types were stealing from anyone who spoke
00:21:08Greek. The state, first of all, us, that is, the taxpayers. The latest case is
00:21:12the "horiatiko" here. We see state services, state structures
00:21:16searching within their own people. The "Pitsilis" is looking for
00:21:20who was taking them. The police are conducting an internal
00:21:23investigation, who was giving information. Everyone.
00:21:27I refer to the "horiatiko" and to Rhodes and to the cadastral service and all
00:21:30were obviously rigged. We have all
00:21:34understood this. What are you doing there? Can you tell us? So, I will tell you a series of
00:21:38actions we have taken without publicizing them in the last few weeks,
00:21:41regarding the cadastral services you mentioned,
00:21:44because we didn't waste a minute. We are talking about beaches now. Yes, so the first thing is that
00:21:48we relieved from his duties the head of the cadastral
00:21:52service of the Dodecanese. Ah, indeed. The second thing is that
00:21:55we ordered an internal investigation to attribute responsibilities wherever they
00:21:58exist. The third thing is that on October 27, we requested an
00:22:02urgent nationwide investigation to tell us all those things you mentioned,
00:22:06that is, every tender, every businessman, every person,
00:22:09if there is anything hidden in cross-checks with the other
00:22:12services, to see if in all these electronic
00:22:16auctions there might have been fictitiousness in the competition.
00:22:25And of course, I should say that relevant orders have been given since
00:22:282025. I should say that licenses have been
00:22:30revoked. Basically, concessions on beaches have been revoked
00:22:34before this case began. We have already
00:22:37started to receive the results of this investigation from the
00:22:41cadastral services. Whatever we find will immediately go
00:22:43into the hands of the prosecutor, and any responsibilities will be attributed. Whatever we find
00:22:47will go to the
00:22:50prosecutor. We are checking
00:22:53all these decisions, which
00:22:56are. Let's go. Super-digitalized. How will we
00:22:59find out? You're asking me because it's broader. So all this will go into
00:23:02the hands of justice. All relevant administrative sanctions
00:23:05will be imposed if they exist. But your question
00:23:08is broader.
00:23:11I consider it very important that all this is revealed. I should say
00:23:15first of all, with my European hat, I said it yesterday in Parliament.
00:23:18καπέλλο το πα και χθες στη βουλη.
00:23:24This no longer exists. The IADE should not be wronged. Here, over two billion
00:23:28per year. The IADE catches tax evasion. This is the
00:23:31surplus that goes back to the people who are watching us, and we can do all the
00:23:34support we mentioned before. So this is a social
00:23:37dividend, and there is also the Greek FBI. We created new
00:23:41structures precisely so that they can have additional tools to do
00:23:44it. And now for the first time, because now for the first time all
00:23:48these possibilities exist. The state
00:23:51has been digitized.
00:23:58You also have the absolute, absolute, at least to a very
00:24:02large extent, tools to find them. The state has not yet been
00:24:05fully digitized, and the former competent official tells you that. The state
00:24:09began a long journey in 2019. It was
00:24:12a sprint and a marathon together. Tremendous steps have been taken,
00:24:16and now we see their results, and we will see many more
00:24:20results. Of course, we will see more. And it is it's great that we can see them, thank you
00:24:23very much Mr. Minister, be
00:24:26well, good morning, so let's continue a little more here with
00:24:29Marokaprousi who always has topics of great interest from
00:24:33you children again, yes, we will see it is a
00:24:36video, it is shocking, it is a harsh video, but it interrupts the
00:24:39moment when these two people lose their lives, it is a terrible news that comes from
00:24:43Brazil, a flight with a paraglider had a tragic
00:24:46ending and the 45-year-old instructor.
00:24:52So what happened here, let's say it was recorded by the camera on the paraglider
00:24:56as well as from another spot on the beach, they hit a wall children, so these two
00:25:00people, so these two people died according to the
00:25:03eyewitnesses now before the crash there was no indication
00:25:07that something was wrong in fact, from his side, the president of
00:25:11the free contorndo stated that the wind
00:25:14conditions were good and attributed all the responsibilities
00:25:17because we are talking about the instructor we are talking about a tourist
00:25:21who entrusted his life to the experienced supposedly hands of this
00:25:24instructor, he attributed it all to the instructor's mistake, instructor's handling
00:25:28error, it was not a mistake here of the man, what could
00:25:32be a mistake, said the president of this free
00:25:35free flight, that it was a maneuver at low altitude,
00:25:39an unforgivable mistake, if he had landed in the sand
00:25:42it probably would not have had this outcome,
00:25:45he gave, on a wall, he gave a statement to the police, this man
00:25:49reported. that the instructor had been flying for more than 10 years, but what
00:25:53he revealed was that he had obtained an official license only one
00:25:56year ago, so he was flying for 10 years without a license, he was an
00:26:00instructor, for only one year.
00:26:06and I repeat, it's a sport, a hobby, a
00:26:10nice experience that you go and do and you literally
00:26:13entrust your life to the hands of an experienced
00:26:16supposedly person to do it, yes, but yes, yes, so I
00:26:20would never do that, no way
00:26:22at all
00:26:24I have done skydiving once,
00:28:45I saw, I saw it, Maro, you saw it at work, where did you see it, I always watch it,
00:28:48you came from outside, I always have eyes everywhere, no, no, no,
00:28:52traffic, children, with the energy of the hero,
00:28:54come on.
00:29:09Good morning, indeed, as my colleague mentioned earlier, we still
00:29:12have traffic on several roads in the basin, we are at the height
00:29:16of Faliro now with the Sky drone and the red one, and we will
00:29:19slowly go towards Glyfada, in the background we also see the Hellinikon, the
00:29:23tower of Hellinikon, we have some problems still at this
00:29:27particular spot from behind the Faliro Bay
00:29:31towards Eden, if... but fortunately in sections, and in a few minutes the road will be
00:29:35completely clear, you will see a small delay a little further
00:29:37ahead. Where do we pay attention? We pay attention
00:29:41if and when we go up Kifissou avenue from
00:29:45KTEL towards Nea Chalkidona, which maintains a
00:29:48difficult profile. We pay attention to the two lanes of Athinon
00:29:52Avenue and outwards from the forest of Chaidari, that is, towards
00:29:55Lake Koumoudourou and towards Athens along the University
00:29:59of West Attica and Kifissou. We also pay attention to the
00:30:03ascent of Kifissias avenue, which is also improving, but
00:30:07still from the height of Katechaki, going up towards
00:30:10Psychiko it will delay you, in Nea
00:30:12Erythraia and with this we will conclude, the descending axis of Eleftheriou
00:30:16Venizelou Kifissias along Nea Erythraia and
00:30:19going down towards Kifissia, has a lot of
00:30:22delay. Happy hour is coming from the
00:30:26current from the
00:30:26hero.
