[01] The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated, FinMin
Tsakalotos says
"The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated," Finance Minister
Euclid Tsakalotos on Thursday said in a statement to Efimerida Ton
Syntakton citing Mark Twain.
"There is not a grain of truth," he stressed in reply to main opposition
New Democracy's accusations that he has not made an official statement
on the Eurogroup's results.
[02] New Democracy calls on Tsakalotos to make an official statement on
Eurogroup results
"Mr Tsakalotos must stop pretending that he does not understand Greek,"
main opposition New Democracy (ND) said in a statement on Thursday and
called on the Finance Minister to make an official statement on the
Eurogroup's results.
[03] Deputy Labour Min Petropoulos asks the help of commercial sector
for a viable social security system
Lowering the tax free threshold without offset measures would be
a problem, Deputy Labour Minister Tasos Petropoulos said during his
speech at the Chamber of Commerce in Athens.
Petropoulos asked for the help of the trade sector in the government
effort for a viable social security system.
He also explained that although the new system will benefit the majority
of the insured people, corrections will be made where necessary. Moreover,
he defended the new social security system saying the new law is a
"development measure."
