Noting that the policies of the Mitsotakis government for citizens are leading to a new social coalition, Akis Skertsos listed 22 interventions by matching them to the number of citizens benefiting.
In a message on social media, Minister of State, Akis Skertos said: “The 22 policies that follow are not just numbers“. “They are real people next door. They are living examples of the results that the reforms of the last 7 years bring to the life of every Greek woman and every Greek man,” he stressed.
“What cannot be measured cannot be evaluated,” Akis Skertsos pointed out. “And at the same time, what is measured cannot be flattened by the opposition of wishful thinking and populist ambiguity,” the State Minister noted. “This is why we say yes to measurement and evaluation that make life better for people, especially the most vulnerable,” Akis Skertos said.
He concluded his message by saying: “These policies are the soul of the New Democracy and show the way for a new social alliance that wants the country’s steady progress on new strong and healthy foundations. This is the new social contract we want to sign in the next elections with all citizens“.

There is an old political cliché that says “people are not numbers”. And it is correct. But there are, however, some numbers that are identified with people.
The 22 policies that follow are not just numbers. They are real people next door. Living examples of the results that the reforms of the last 7 years bring to the lives of every Greek woman and every Greek man.
