Mitsotakis referred to the increase in the minimum wage, which will be announced in April and will not be negligible while setting the goal of the next four years to resolve the housing issue for young couples.

Regarding the possible reduction of VAT on basic foods that are a daily necessity for households, the Prime Minister spoke of a “measure in the quiver”, clarifying that a possible reduction of VAT on food will have great costs.
