The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) commented on Wednesday on the government’s announcement that it will grant additional funding to ensure that the needs of municipal and private daycare centers, kindergarten schools and Creative Activity Centres will be met.

KKE noted that the government’s “celebrations” cannot conceal the fact that thousands of children in low-income families will not have access to daycare centers.

According to KKE, thousands of families did not apply for a place in the NSRF program because they did not meet the criteria.

The Communist Party accused the government of hiding the fact that many applications will be rejected as a result of the lack of infrastructure and personnel in municipalities.
