[01] State Minister tells ANA ND leader's credibility will be checked
The statements that will be made by New Democracy leader Kyriakos
Mitsotakis will be checked for their credibility against his past
actions, State Minister for Coordinating Government Operations, Alekos
Flambouraris, told Athens-Macedonian News Agency in an interview on
Saturday.
"Whatever Mr. Mitsotakis says is checked for its credibility in relation
to his past actions," he said, noting that the tax cuts envisioned by
ND will be covered with layoffs and spending cuts in sensitive sectors
such as health and education.
Flambouraris said this was Mitsotakis' political philosophy when he was
a minister in the coalition government of ND and PASOK.
[02] No more cuts in military wages, says minister
Wages in the military will not be cut any further, Alternate Defence
Minister Dimitris Vitsas said in an interview with newspaper "Agora"
on Saturday.
"Changes that will be made concern a rationalization of a situation
characterized by several special payrolls and not a new reduction of
the already clipped wages for those in the Defence ministry's payroll,"
Vitsas was quoted as saying.
He also said the ministry is working on measures to improve the position
of officers, such as reforming the transfer system.
