Christmas with strict restrictions for the unvaccinated

By Dimitris Gatsios

“When I say that the elections will take place at the end of the four years, I mean it. I say it to do your planning. At the end of the term, we will ask the citizens to continue our work.”

Putting, once again in the most clear and unequivocal way, an end to the scenario of early elections, Kyriakos Mitsotakis “sees” that two plus one big challenges have been opened on the government horizon, which the government is called to face. This is because, in addition to the fourth wave of the pandemic virus that is emerging, breaking down negative records one after another and tackling accuracy, the focus is finally on the new challenges posed by Ankara and Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Challenges that reflect, if nothing else, the obvious embarrassment of the neighbor, after the defense agreements of our country with France and the United States of America, with the Greek capital responding strictly to the new rhetorical outbursts of Erdogan, who threatens, from again, with the opening of the borders.

New contacts Mitsotaki

At a time when government officials point out that the presence of the Prime Minister at yesterday’s Conference on Libya in Paris is a recognition of our country as a force for regional peace and security, Athens is calmly and resolutely watching the moves of its neighbor’s leadership. At the same time, she maintains, in all tones, that she is at all times prepared to cope with any possible attempt by Turkey to re-instrumentalize immigration. “The threats of the Turkish president concern not only Greece, but the European Union as a whole. It has been proven many times so far that people are lost in the Aegean, because the Turkish authorities are inactive monitoring the boats and rotten boats of traffickers starting from the coast Recently, the Greek Coast Guard rescued 382 migrants aboard a ship, which had sailed off the Turkish coast, under the Turkish flag and was in danger off Crete… Ankara’s responsibilities are enormous, as are its obligations. “in relation to the agreement he has signed with Brussels”, comment executives.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis, at the same time, is preparing for another round of international contacts, starting from the two days of November 16-17. He will be in London, where, among other things, he will have a meeting with Boris Johnson, during which, in addition to bilateral and economic relations and relations in the field of security, he is expected to bring to the forefront the developments in the Eastern Mediterranean and the provocative attitude of Ankara.

“The country will not enter a new lockdown”

Beyond the new Turkish threats and looking to the domestic front, tackling the new outbreak of COVID-19 in the community remains a top issue on the government’s agenda. The map of the epidemic ίνει is getting heavier and heavier, with 23 regional units in κόκκινο deep red, health structures, mainly in Thessaly and northern Greece, are under constant pressure,… the heavy autumn of the coronavirus is reflected in a total of 555 deaths and the 66,127 cases in the first ten days of November and it is a common estimate that at the present time the peak of the virus is recorded, with the phenomenon, anyway, being dynamic.

“There will be no more lockdowns in the country. Those who have already been shielded by choosing the vaccine will not be subject to significant restrictions again. step of the “blue” Parliamentary Group.

Of the “K” discussions with government officials, four are the points that are of the greatest interest in terms of the strategy for stopping the pandemic wave:

-In the areas where the pressure from the cases and the intubation will increase, the health system will be constantly strengthened, through orders of services of private doctors (expected to start at the beginning of the week) and inclusion of private clinics in the “battle”. In this context, 200 beds in Thessaloniki and 206 in Thessaly for COVID cases as well as 150 beds in Thessaloniki and another 150 in Larissa for other incidents have been made available to the NSS by the private sector. At the disposal of the health system are also the ICUs of the private sector. In Attica, there is a corresponding arrangement for activating the availability of beds in the private sector, if the need arises.

Efforts to further increase vaccinations will be ongoing. The government is optimistic about the course of the bites, as 220,000 first vaccinations have been given in the last ten days.

…The scenario for the unvaccinated regarding the festive period of Christmas is not going to change. This means that those who have chosen not to τους make their appointment with “Eleftheria” should not hope for a relaxation of the measures, as the interventions that are in force today (and may… harden more) will remain in force and Christmas and New Year days.

– There will be no extension of the obligation. “No country in the European Union has a broad framework of obligations,” executives note.

Its development and diffusion

In the government άζουν they read with satisfaction the autumn economic forecasts of the European Commission. According to them, Greece will have the 3rd highest growth in the Eurozone and the 5th in the EU. for 2021. It will be the first in growth and below the average in inflation, while at the same time it will have the largest decrease in unemployment.

“The goal of our policy is for this development to spread to the middle class, as well as to vulnerable social groups,” agents said, speaking to “K”. And they recall Mitsotakis’ recent commitments to double the minimum wage by 2022 and return the excise duty on agricultural oil to young farmers and those participating in cooperatives.
