Mitsotakis to farmers: Yes to dialogue, but not to the unreasonable – their stance is unconstructive, they should think of our country

The interventions for the housing, the increases in salaries and pensions 2026 and the delivery of the first Belharra frigate in the Prime Minister's Sunday message

Newsroom December 21 10:28

“Out of the 27 demands put forward by the farmers, only seven cannot be resolved,” the Prime Minister notes in his Sunday message, also referring to interventions on housing, wage and pension increases from 2026, and the delivery of the first Belharra frigate.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis delivered his customary weekly review of government work on Sunday morning through a public post, focusing on measures to support citizens and the government’s key policy initiatives.

As he stresses, the main objectives remain strengthening disposable income, further reducing taxation, and providing relief to borrowers with Swiss franc loans, within the framework of an overall policy to support society.

Regarding the farmers’ mobilizations, the Prime Minister notes that the government has already satisfied 16 of the 27 demands, underlining the need to continue dialogue with those who remain unmoved.

At the same time, he refers to progress on major infrastructure projects and development initiatives, such as the housing renovation and affordable housing support program, the delivery of the first Belharra frigate, and the digital upgrade of the “ERGANI” system, which aims to better protect workers and reduce bureaucracy for businesses.
