“THE Kyriakos Mitsotakis He will address Greek men and women at 19:00 today. “He will announce new measures and inform you about the situation in the country in the context of the coronavirus pandemic,” the government spokesman said. Stelios Petsas, during the political editors’ regular briefing on current political and economic events.
As Mr. Petsas Imposing a blanket blockade is not one of the government’s priorities.
“We are determined to take the necessary measures, because public health does not fall on any scale,” he said emphatically.
Beginning its installation, the Stelios Petsas stressed that “all of Europe is facing a new, big, second wave coronavirus. In many countries there is a dramatic increase in cases, intubations and deaths. “Protection measures are increasing and in some cases, like Ireland, they are reaching the limit of the blockade.”
In terms, especially GreeceHowever, he said that “our country remains in a better epidemiological situation than other countries. However, there has been a significant increase in cases in recent days, with an equally significant decrease in the average age of the patients.
“At the national level, the average age of patients is 37, while in Thessaloniki only 28. This fact confirms that the main cause of the increase in cases is complacency and confusion. We see a repetition of images from the July-August period. Where the younger ages seem to have returned to normal before the coronavirus. As a consequence, either due to fatigue when observing the measurements, or due to relaxation, we see many cases at younger ages, which are asymptomatic. Asymptomatic themselves, they unknowingly transmit the virus to their relatives and relatives. But we have said that this enemy is invisible. And we must all act as if we have the virus and be afraid of transmitting it and unknowingly becoming a hotbed of spread in the community. “Above all, it does not mean negligence and no irresponsibility is justified,” Mr Petsas stressed.
At the same time, it described as unacceptable the fact that “there is a conscious and premeditated violation of the measures”. Because it is a conscious and premeditated violation of the measures, which is done by organizing parties in places of sanitary interest with standing clients, without observing the distances and capacity, or in places that must be closed after 12 at night. The punishment of these will be exemplary. Because the fleeting joy of a few, when it becomes a source of dispersion, turns into collective pain ”.
On national issues and Turkish provocation
According to the government spokesperson, Turkey continues to show criminal behavior towards Greece and Cyprus, piracy within the Cypriot EEZ, issuing illegal NAVTEX and concluding non-existent memoranda.
“Such illegal actions cannot in any case produce legal results,” stressed Mr. Petsas.
“Yesterday, the eighth in a row, the trilateral summit of Greece, Cyprus and Egypt sent clear messages. It also coincided with the dangers posed by the Turkish leadership in the eastern Mediterranean. A leadership that, as Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis stressed, fantasizes about imperial practices and performs aggressive actions, from Syria to Libya, from Somalia to the Caucasus and, of course, from the Aegean to Cyprus, where piracy is developing in the Cypriot EEZ and causing the opening of the coastline in Famagusta. Draw arbitrary maps, sign invalid memoranda and approve laws, illegal according to international law, since they refer to matters regulated by international organizations with international standards.
It blatantly violates international law and the law of the sea, defies international treaties, defies the decisions of the UN Security Council. “And the European Union for Cyprus, creates problems in the North Atlantic Alliance and undermines regional security,” he noted.
Mr. Petsas stigmatized Ankara’s position“Despite the prime minister’s acceptance of the proposal to resume exploratory talks on the exclusive issue of delimiting maritime zones in the Aegean and the eastern Mediterranean, Ankara has once again opted for crime.”
“Instead of inviting contacts, he proceeded to provoke warships. Instead of dialogue of solutions, he preferred the monologue of disputes. Instead of fruitful discussions, he makes illegal demands. And instead of fighting terrorism, as he hypocritically claims, it feeds the terrorists. “By transferring Syrian mercenaries to Libya, as noted by the prime minister in his meeting with the presidents of Egypt and Cyprus, Turkey is spreading terrorist cells in North Africa, threatening the security of Europe and ultimately undermining the joint effort to dismantle terrorism, “the government spokesman said.
Athens – as the Prime Minister stressed – in the face of a neighbor that militarizes diplomacy, turns diplomacy into its own weapon. As also highlighted at the last EU Summit, Greece asks European states not to sell more military equipment to Turkey.
“At the same time, Greece calls for violations of the Turkish customs union-European Union agreement. Because it is not possible for a country to be a candidate for membership of the European Union to enjoy the benefits of the single market while threatening the eastern borders of the European Union and disrupting the entire Mediterranean. And we repeat that Arbitrary and illegal actions do not produce legal effects. No law is created in violation of International Law. In any case, Greece has the power, is willing and determined to defend its sovereignty and sovereign rights, ”continued Stelios Petsas.
For the debt settlement bill
According to the government spokesman, “the bill for the settlement of debts and the provision of a second chance to households and businesses is being debated today in the plenary session of the Greek Parliament.”
“The government is showing in practice that, despite the crises, it continues with the reforms. The new bankruptcy law enacted by this bill is a key reform for the benefit of society and the economy. “Through a new framework, which is holistic, entrepreneurial, socially sensitive and equitable, innovative and ultimately national development, the main problem of particularly high private debt, which has been a burden during the past, is being addressed. multi-year economic crisis “.
And I add:
“This frame: – Strengthens the world of work and social cohesion, protecting as much as possible the productive fabric of our national economy.
– Reward possible financial failure.
– Relieves businesses and households from the burdens of the past in order to recover and
“It gives a way out of an economic ‘prison’, offering a second chance.”
