Greece's Vertical Corridor project to make nation indispensable to allies
Konstantinos Kyranakis, Secretary of the New Democracy party, has described the Vertical Corridor project as a matter of national importance that will make Greece indispensable to its allies. The project is designed to transform Greece into a gateway for American natural gas, facilitating its flow to the Balkans and Ukraine while replacing Russian gas supplies.
Kyranakis emphasized that the initiative is a strategic geopolitical tool that transcends individual governments. He linked energy independence to domestic economic benefits, stating that investments in production, networks, and energy storage should lead to lower energy costs for both households and industries.
Regarding economic relief, Kyranakis noted that Greece is negotiating for increased fiscal space to allow for a reduction in the special consumption tax on gasoline. He also addressed the cost of living, suggesting that increasing wages and incomes is the most effective response to inflation and economic hardship.
