"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 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)

The Proper Greek Analyst criticized publications from Kontra, Eleftheros Typos, Political, and Dimokratia, arguing that they presented as a Greek success an exception that would pave the way for a reduction of fuel taxes or investments amounting to 1 billion euros. He described the coverage as misleading and said it confused two different requests. According to him, the government's request for temporary reductions in the Special Consumption Tax or VAT on fuels not to be counted toward the deficit was rejected. He argued that such measures would directly support citizens and businesses and that they had been implemented without requests to the Commission from 11 EU countries. He also cited a Reuters publication regarding the rejection of requests from Greece and Italy for greater fiscal flexibility. On the contrary, he mentioned that a request for exemption from fiscal rules on spending for energy projects had been accepted. In his post, this possibility did not concern only Greece: a Commission announcement dated 18/8/26, with code C/2026/4514, stipulated an exemption of up to 0.6% of GDP cumulatively over two years for countries that would apply. He estimated that this corresponded for Greece to 1.56 billion euros, with an GDP of 260 billion euros at current prices in 2026, and not the 1 billion euros that, as he wrote, the government planned to allocate. The Proper Greek Analyst added that Italy's request, which, according to ANSA, concerned 0.6% of GDP or 14 billion euros, was expected to be approved by Monday. He contrasted this amount with the 0.38% of GDP or 1 billion euros attributed to the Greek plan. For Greek projects, he mentioned grants of 200 million euros for energy storage batteries from renewable sources, 320 million euros for railroad safety and expansion projects, 200 million euros for heat pumps and solar water heaters for 100,000 beneficiaries, 117 million euros for energy upgrades of 109 public buildings and universities, 50 million euros for photovoltaics, batteries, and heating systems for 10,000 beneficiaries, 50 million euros for carbon capture and storage in industry, and 45 million euros for 246 school units. He stated that, beyond the subsidies for households, the remaining projects would not directly benefit citizens. #Ελλάδα #ενέργεια #δημοσιονομικά (translated)

The European Commission's decision today to approve the energy escape clause, which concerns exclusively Greece, is of particular political and economic significance. The exclusive nature of the approval for Greece was emphasized by the Minister of National Economy and Finance Kyriakos Pierrakakis, who described the decision as one of particular political and economic importance. #ΕνεργειακήΡήτρα #Ελλάδα #ΕυρωπαϊκήΕπιτροπή (translated)

We are all aware of the fact that we need to do both. Mr. Piera-kakis described the current situation as a "difficult equation," with two main sides: On one hand, the increased energy prices, high energy costs, and rising inflation are burdening households and businesses. #Οικονομία #Ενέργεια #Πληθωρισμός (translated)

"The geography of the city is my geography." "The route you describe is also the measure of the great changes that took place in the country, from the years of very great difficulties, as one could see them reflected in the streets of Athens, in shops that closed during the years of bankruptcy, in the increase of crime. You could see the crisis around you and experience it very clearly, especially if you had daily movement in the streets," Mr. Pierrakakis initially emphasized. #Αθήνα #Πολιτική #ΚυριάκοςΠιερρακάκης (translated)

P.G. Papanikolaou wrote that Pierrakakis would be the most deceitful minister of Kyriakos Mitsotakis' government if it weren't for Georgiadis, who, according to him, a few years ago said that anyone voting for ND and PASOK was voting for thieves. https://t.co/7hjsoYGAge #Πολιτική #Ελλάδα #ΝΔ (translated)

Μπαινω ομως στον πειρασμο να υπενθυμιζω, αν τον δω στην τηλεοραση, οτι εκτος του φαινομενου αξιας και ευρυτατου υπουργικου ταλεντου (θυμομαστε ολοι επιτευγματα του στο υπουργειο Ψηφιακης, πριν ανεβει σε ευρωπαϊκους οικονομικους θρονους) ειναι και φαινομενο μακροζωϊας στο γαλαζιο περιβαλλον, που εχθρευεται (δικην λευκων αιμοσφαιριων) ο,τιδηποτε "ξενο", δηλαδη μη κομματικο, επειδη ο Πιερ προερχοταν απο το ΠΑΣΟΚ. Ψιλογνωριζω την κομματιλα των ΝΔτών και ποσο δυσκολο ειναι για τον Κυριακο να αξιοποιει ταλεντα που δεν φορουν τη στολη του κομματος του. Οποτε ομως το επιχειρησε, πετυχε διανα και υπουργοι σαν τον Πιερ, σερνουν το κομματικο αρμα σε ανηφορες που το ιδιο, ακομη και ασθμαινοντας, δεν θα ειχε ανεβει. Οχι ισως αλλα σιγουρα, μπροστα σε εκλογες του χρονου, οι ταλαντευομενοι ψηφοφοροι του Κυριακου, που δεν πολυσυμπαθουν την κομματιλα, θα προσθεσουν στα διλημματα τους, ασφυκτικα κοντα στον Κυριακο, και σταρ-υπουργους σαν τον Πιερ, που κοντρα στο ρευμα, εδωσαν στην κυβερνηση, χωρις λαϊκιστικα κολπακια, το λουστρο του πρωτοκλασατου και το βαθος χειροπιαστης γνωσης ενος πολυσυνθετου αντικειμενου. Ο Πιερ δεν ειναι απλως ενας εξοχος υπουργος της κυβερνησης ΝΔ, ειναι... κοινωνικο καλο! Υ.Γ.
