This new increase obviously does not solve the problem, but it is a significant relief and above all it shows our intention to increase salaries in both the public and private sectors ", said Mitsotakis at the government meeting.

" At the same time, I want to emphasize that the Greek economy is in a dynamic development, unemployment is constantly decreasing, taxes are still decreasing. So now is the time to support workers with a bold increase in basic pay ."
