“We are launching with the Emirates fund” ADQ “4 billion euros of investments in various sectors in Greece, such as tourism, agricultural production, privatization and PPPs. All this has now entered a series, with very specific and suffocating schedules.”

This was noted by the Minister of Development and Investment, Adonis Georgiadis, in an interview today, on the radio station REAL FM 97.8.

Specifically, the Minister stated regarding the meetings with the business mission from the UAE: “Yesterday was a very nice day for the Ministry of Development and Investment, which began with the Prime Minister’s meeting with my counterpart Al Jamber and with the business mission from We have more than 60 Greek companies that speak with other counterparts from the UAE.We are launching with the Emirates Fund “ADQ” 4 billion euros of investments in various sectors in Greece, such as tourism, agricultural production, privatization and “All of this is now part of a series, with very specific and suffocating schedules and they are going very well.”

In general, regarding the economic prospects of the country, the minister said:

“Despite any adversity, our economy is showing excellent signs of vitality. In 2021 we had a record of foreign investment of the last 28 years and in 2022 if we continue at the same pace, we will go for a record of foreign direct investment in Greece of all times.”

Asked about the rise in inflation, he said: “The rise in inflation caused by sanctions against Russia over the war in Ukraine is causing political cost to all governments in Europe, obviously to ours. People cannot see it. “Certainly prices are rising everywhere and he is happy. Certainly this creates a more unfavorable political environment, which is not under our control. Greece can neither stop sanctions on Russia nor end the energy crisis on its own.” “He had a meeting with Mr Draghi yesterday and they agreed to raise the issue of the gas price ceiling. It is not an issue that can be easily resolved by a European country or even two.”

In December, the permits for the construction of the casino and the conference space in Elliniko

Regarding the casino in Elliniko, Mr. Georgiadis noted: “Yesterday was the official presentation of the cooperation GEK TERNA- Hard Rock and thus closed the last long pending for Elliniko. In December, the permits for the construction of the casino and the “By the end of 2025 we will have the hotel, the concert venue and the casino of Hard Rock in operation. This investment amounts to about one billion euros”.

Regarding the possibility of early elections, the Minister said: “The Prime Minister said that he wants the elections to take place at the end of four years and asked that there be no highly toxic climate. Despite the Prime Minister’s call, we all know that a toxic climate exists. For example, when the opposition talks all day about “Mitsotaki company”, this is toxicity, not political criticism “.

Regarding the possibility of co-governing with Mr. Velopoulos’s party, he stressed: “We can never co-govern with Mr. Velopoulos because we disagree with the major ones. You can not co-govern with someone with whom you disagree on the basics. New Democracy believes in the European “Mr. Velopoulos wants Greece outside Europe and on the side of Russia. It is absolutely obvious that the New Democracy and Mr. Velopoulos can not cooperate, that’s all.”

Asked who will be prime minister in case of co-government with PASOK-KINAL, the minister replied: “Neither you nor Mr. Androulakis will decide who will be prime minister. The boss will decide. The boss in the country is the Greek If in the elections the boss says that he wants Mitsotakis as prime minister and brings him out first, will Androulakis then be able to tell the boss that he does not accept his decision? Who will be the prime minister will depend on who will be the first. “So simple. And who will be first, is always decided by the people.”

Regarding the ongoing challenges of Turkey, Mr. Georgiadis underlined: “Greece has recently signed a very strong defense agreement with the United States. It has done the same with France. I consider it completely absurd for Erdogan to dare to do “He will shout, he will say different things, but in fact he can not do anything.”

Finally, regarding the role of the NATO Secretary General, he said: “I understand that the role of the NATO Secretary General is to try to find a way of synthesizing views, so obviously Mr. Stoltenberg is trying to find a solution to the issue of the veto put by Turkey. In order for Turkey to be happy with lifting NATO’s veto on Sweden-Finland, it could have the opposite effect and make everyone else furious. “.
