Any move to strengthen support for families, such as increasing family benefits or speeding up housing projects, is a step in the right direction.

It is enough that the bonus policy does not change our country's inability to intervene in market distortions that appear to be exceptional beyond all reason.

The corresponding numbers are common. According to ELSTAT, the average monthly expenditure for households aged 25-34 increased within a year from 1,599 to 1,919 euros, while for households aged 35-44 it reached 2,144 euros from 1,837.

At the same time, our country shows one of the largest food price increases in the European Union, excluding indeed domestically produced products – only olive oil has increased by 58.5%, which is the second largest in the European Union.

All in all, the purchasing power of the average salary in Greece is measured at 56.9% of the average salary in the Eurozone.

In short, benefits cannot be increased to feed “greedy inflation.”

Not only because greed is a bottomless barrel, but because it vainly tries to fill the state with taxpayers' money from its coffers.

But because the benefit to families is ultimately zero. Money goes into one pocket and immediately comes out of another and ends up in the pockets of speculators.

Such is the subsidized “greed inflation” that the Prime Minister himself has admitted.

Thus the country is again not just a “banana” as the Prime Minister said, but a “banana” with government subsidies.

Therefore, social policy is relegated to the category of “crumbs” – and with crumbs, as it is known, no family table can be filled.
