Adonis Georgiadis claimed that an article in "Democratia" presented as a scandal the digital modernization project of public health services, omitting critical details. He stated that the procurement for IDIKA was published on March 30, 2023, with a bid deadline of May 9, 2023, before he took over the Ministry of Health. According to Georgiadis, a temporary contractor was announced on May 21, 2024 (ADA: 6ΙΓΚ4691Β5-57Ψ) and the final award was made on July 26, 2024 (ADA: 68444691Β5-Ο79). He said that the Court of Auditors gave a positive opinion on November 15, 2024, followed by the approval of the EYSTA, and the contract was signed on December 18, 2024. The minister mentioned that the project involved a comprehensive information system for human resources management and payroll, not the outsourcing of hospital payrolls to private entities. He said that the system would include, among other things, an electronic employee file, management of personnel changes, leaves, and personnel requests, with plans for expansion to all seven Health Regions. He added that payroll continued to be processed through the Unified Payment Authority. Georgiadis stated that the problems during the initial operation were not ignored and that timely payment of employees, on-call duty, and allowances was a priority. He characterized the criticism as legitimate, but said it was not appropriate to attribute to him the shaping of the terms of a competition that had been announced in 2023. Finally, he asked Philippakis not to harm the National Health System in his attempts to damage him. #Υγεία #ΔημόσιεςΥπηρεσίες #Εκσυγχρονισμός (translated)

Maria Diamanti wrote that the government had entrusted the payroll of public hospitals to private individuals and claimed that, when the employees were paid, allowances and on-call duties were not calculated. She described the situation as chaos and criticized those who, she said, had remained in applause during the COVID-19 period. She added that she expected a "bang" to occur from the healthcare sector and concluded by addressing someone with an offensive remark. #Υγεία #ΔημόσιαΝοσοκομεία #Κυβέρνηση (translated)

The Minister of National Economy and Finance, Kyriakos Pierrakakis, presented measures of 2.2 billion euros for 2027 which include tax relief, increased benefits, and support for retirees, with the aim of strengthening purchasing power and addressing inflation. #Οικονομία #Προϋπολογισμός #Ανάπτυξη (translated)

Anavaloglou Georgios mentioned that Kyriakos Mitsotakis stated in Brussels on 16/10 that the government would not distribute money for political reasons. He contrasted the policies of other countries, saying that Italy planned to tax banks with a target of 5 billion euros in revenue by 2027, the Netherlands aimed to impose an extraordinary contribution of 617 million euros, and Austria would extend an additional contribution of 300 million euros for the same year. He added that Slovakia would maintain an increased tax rate for banks in 2027 as well. Regarding refineries, Anavaloglou said that Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Poland, and Austria had requested a windfall tax from the Commission, while Greece was not among those countries. He cited pre-tax profits of 1.998 billion euros for the two Greek refineries in the first half of 2026, compared to 210 million euros in the corresponding period last year: 891.7 million for Motor Oil and 1.106.4 million for HELLENiQ. He also referenced an interview on ERT on 17/9, where, according to him, Mitsotakis said he preferred money to be returned to citizens through fuel prices rather than collected by the state budget. Anavaloglou noted that the refineries received subsidies of 277 million euros, while the heating allowance increased by only 52 million euros compared to last year. He concluded that this was a political choice and raised the question of whether the Prime Minister sought to be popular with citizens or with those, as he wrote, who profited from the crisis and from whom he sought electoral support. #πολιτική #φορολογία #Ελλάδα (translated)

KatiApoZebra wrote that the spokesman of the Ministry of Finance boasted that 70% of households would receive the heating allowance. He mentioned that there are 4,332,000 households in the country, while the beneficiaries of the allowance are 1,170,000, which is 27%. He accused the authorities of lying and arrogance. #Οικονομία #Επιδόματα #Ελλάδα (translated)

Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced new support measures for the energy crisis, such as the increase in heating allowance and the reduction of oil prices, noting that the interventions will be reassessed according to international developments. #Μητσοτάκης #ενεργειακήκρίση #πολιτική (translated)

"We are proceeding with double support for heating oil, with a direct subsidy at the pump, which will immediately reduce the price, and with an increase in the heating allowance by 30% compared to last year, a measure that concerns hundreds of thousands of families throughout the territory." As Mr. Pierrakakis noted, "we are proceeding with double support for heating oil, with a direct subsidy at the pump, which will immediately reduce the price, and with an increase in the heating allowance by 30% compared to last year, a measure that concerns hundreds of thousands of families throughout the territory." #ΕπίδομαΘέρμανσης #Οικονομία #ΕνίσχυσηΝοικοκυριών (translated)

In the Parliament, the deputies are calling for larger increases in child benefits, as the proposed 5%-10% are considered crumbs for covering the increases in basic goods, despite the improvements that benefit an additional 23,000 families. #ΕπίδομαΤέκνου #Πολιτική #Οικογένεια (translated)

In a difficult international context, with the energy crisis testing the endurance of households around the world, our priority is to alleviate the pressure on families. That is why we are proceeding with dual support for heating oil through direct subsidies at the pump, which will immediately reduce the price, and with an increase in the heating allowance by 30% compared to last year. This measure affects hundreds of thousands of families across the country. An increase in the heating allowance by 30% was announced by the Minister of National Economy, Kyriakos Pierrakakis. #ΕπίδομαΘέρμανσης #ΠετρέλαιοΘέρμανσης #ΟικονομικήΣτήριξη (translated)
