Greek Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis has responded to recent survey data regarding poverty in Greece, calling for optimism and criticizing the media for overemphasizing negative news.
The survey indicates that 27.5% of Greeks are at risk of poverty, which is the second-highest rate in the EU after Bulgaria. Additionally, 67.2% of the population reports feeling poor, a figure that is the highest in the European Union.
In a social media post, Georgiadis argued that citizens should combat the tendency to view situations more negatively than they are. He noted that while problems exist, Greece remains one of the wealthiest countries in the EU, ranking among the top 30.
