Harilaou Trikoupi is revving up in the middle of summer, as PASOK is completing these days their program, the so-called “green paper”.
Nikos Christodoulakis and the group of executives, who surrounded him, are putting the final touches and the time is approaching for the program of positions to be brought to the attention of the MPs and members of the Political Council at the joint session of the PS-K.O. scheduled for next week.
The official kick-off for the citizens’ consultation is planned to be given with a special event outside Athens, perhaps in Crete, towards the end of July. However, in all the previous days, high-ranking executives have been scheduled to go to Kavala, Corinth, Kalamata, Serres, Katerini, Lesvos and Attica.
If there is no surprise election in September, the first month of Autumn will be dedicated to a barrage of events throughout Greece, culminating in the PASOK-Movement for Change programmatic conference.
What is included
According to information, the new composite text describes modernization, digitization and sustainable development policies with innovation and extroversion for the sectors of manufacturing, the agricultural sector, tourism, culture, energy networks and transport, with the main source of financing being the unused resources of the Recovery Fund .
A plan is presented for the complete and smooth decarbonization of energy production, siting of industrial facilities with modern standards and environmental protection. Funding plans are foreseen for small and medium enterprises and start-ups.
