The minister stated that the specific topic under discussion was not addressed during a meeting with the President on Tuesday. He indicated that the matter is likely scheduled for discussion later in the summer, framed within the context of the entire national budget. The minister noted that while certain needs are clear and planned, the available budgetary framework limits maneuverability.
However, the Prime Minister reiterated the coalition’s commitment to addressing social issues. This commitment includes initiatives aimed at encouraging family life and resolving demographic challenges. He emphasized that these concerns must necessarily be reflected within the 2027 budget proposal.
In separate economic news, the Tripartite Council, representing employers and trade unions, reached an agreement on June 15th. This agreement proposed an increase in the Minimum Monthly Allowance (MMA) by 7.19%, setting the new rate at 1,235.9 euros. Concurrently, the council also recommended a separate increase of 4%, amounting to 777 euros.
The discussion surrounding the budget, therefore, involves balancing these stated social priorities about family welfare and demographics against strict fiscal realities. The minister clarified that the details were not finalized during the recent high-level meeting, suggesting a comprehensive review will take place when the broader budget framework is established later this summer.
