We have been actively, not passively, pursuing social policy since 2019,&#8221; said Minister of Social Cohesion and Family, Domna Michailidou, during the <b>speech <\/b>speech<\/b> at the 16th <b>Conference <\/b>of the <b>ND<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s <b>good<\/b> the <b>benefits<\/b>. We need the <b>subsidies<\/b>, we need the <b>economic subsidies,<\/b> but we are not the party that sticks to that alone. We are the party that created<b>new tools<\/b> and created them thanks to all of you. And because we listened to you, we were the first to create the<b> personal assistant<\/b> for <b>People with disabilities.<\/b> We were the first to create the <b>Nannies<\/b> in the neighborhood and the <b>Nanny Grandmothers<\/b>, who are here to serve all <b>families<\/b>, all <b>moms<\/b>, all dads, all the <b>seniors<\/b>, all the <b>households<\/b> that have <b>People with Disabilities<\/b> in them and need an extra hand of their own help, of their own choosing,&#8221; he noted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are the party that because they listened they created the <b>disability card<\/b>, the <b>dignity card<\/b>. So that our fellow citizens who are in <b>a wheelchair<\/b> can move around without constantly opening <b>envelopes<\/b> to prove their <b>disability<\/b>. It is a dignity card,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p>About <b>the support<\/b> measures for <b>the family<\/b>, the minister said: &#8220;We are the party that has supported the <b>family<\/b> with <b>family daycare<\/b> like no party before. So that families, through <b>income<\/b>, can have access, can have <b>financing<\/b> to <b>preschools<\/b>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are the party that made <b>funding<\/b> a reality. That <b>half the children<\/b> in <b>foundations<\/b> are now in families. And we are both <b>congratulated and proud<\/b> of that,&#8221; he noted to add: &#8220;We are the party that has managed <b>30,000 families<\/b> to get their own <b>home<\/b> by giving <b>the bank<\/b> less money than they would give on a <b>rent<\/b>. We are now starting the social consideration and we thank the <b>Armed Forces<\/b> for giving the inactive <b>camps<\/b> to make <b>2,300 homes.&#8221;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Finally, speaking about the <b>demographic<\/b>, Ms. Michailidou said that it is at the top of the <b>political agenda<\/b> of <b>prime minister<\/b>, <b>Kyriakos Mitsotakis,<\/b> stressing that &#8220;he has created a <b>ministry<\/b> for the <b>demographic<\/b>, for the Greek family, because New Democracy knows that it must <b>work hard<\/b> for everyone and above all for the <b>Greek family<\/b>&#8220;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;New Democracy is a party that took social policy seriously.
