Greek government response to fishing industry protests

Overview

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has addressed economic concerns within the fishing sector following ongoing protests. Initially, the Prime Minister announced that the government was considering additional financial assistance for professional fishermen during a meeting with Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda.

Following these discussions, Mitsotakis visited the Chalkidiki region to meet directly with fishing industry representatives in Arnaia. He acknowledged the impact of rising energy costs and pledged to personally oversee support measures to maintain the sector’s competitiveness, noting that specific announcements would follow.

In addition to fishing aid, the Prime Minister announced a two-level support system for heating oil to assist households in Northern Greece, involving interventions in pump prices and increased allowances. During his tour of Halkidiki, which Mitsotakis signaled as the start of a long pre-election period, he emphasized the necessity of a self-reliant government to ensure stability and rapid decision-making.
