With percentages ranging from 43.8% to 58.5% they judge these interventions positively, at the same time 22.1% say that the government is doing everything it can to curb the inflation with all the means at its disposal and a 33.9% acknowledge that it is trying, but more drastic measures and controls are needed, i.e. they also stand positively. <\/p>\n<p>In his usual Sunday post, Kyriakos Mitsotakis made news as he announced on banking transactions that the bill of the Ministry of Development is ready that protects consumers from abusive behavior regarding loans up to 100,000 euros without collateral. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As we had committed to, <b>it puts an end to &#8216;fine print&#8217; and irregular practices.<\/b> Now, a maximum amount that a consumer loan can reach when you pay it off is set, and it will be between 30%-50% above the capital that the borrower borrowed from the bank, as is the average in other European countries. Furthermore, the possibility is given to cancel a loan within 14 days from the moment it is taken out. These are regulations that I believe create a clearer and fairer framework for everyone,&#8221; the prime minister said. <\/p>\n<p>And while this week, and specifically <b>on Wednesday, Mr. Mitsotakis will travel to Jordan to participate in the important trilateral meeting with the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Nicos Christodoulides,<\/b> in his post he underlined the progress we have achieved in our relations with Libya following the recent visit of Foreign Minister,<b> George Gerapetritis,<\/b> during which it was agreed to move forward with the discussion of the technical committees regarding the delimitation of the EEZ and continental shelf. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Greece is seeking the delimitation of the EEZ and continental shelf with the neighbouring country, as states with objective coasts, in full compliance with the International Law of the Sea, as reflected in UNCLOS and as it has done with other states in the region. Based on the timetable, the next round of talks will take place in the near future in Tripoli&#8221;, Kyriakos Mitsotakis stressed. At the same time, he pointed out that <b>Greece remains one of the few countries that have established diplomatic relations at the highest level with both sides in Libya<\/b> and will continue its systematic efforts for a political solution that will ensure the sovereignty of the country, free from external interference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Democracy is the only political force that society trusts, with high chances of being found again in the coming months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3782,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3781","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3781"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3781\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3782"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3781"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
