Greek legislative and economic policy developments

Overview

Following the summer recess, the Greek Parliament and Cabinet are addressing a dense legislative and economic agenda. A primary focus in Parliament is the proposed Constitutional Revision; while initial voting occurred in July, amendments require more than 151 votes in a repeat vote to proceed to a constituent assembly. The main opposition has indicated it will not support current proposals, necessitating broader consensus.

Legislative priorities also include pension security, with the Ministry of Labour and Social Security seeking to enhance professional insurance and provide new tools for future pension savings. The administration faces a critical period in translating macroeconomic stability into relief for households regarding food, housing, and utility costs.

In recent Cabinet meetings led by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, officials are coordinating the ‘Greece 2.0’ National Recovery and Resilience Plan. As of August 24, ministers reported that EU disbursements have reached 24.6 billion euros with 253 milestones achieved, as the government aims to absorb the full 36 billion euro national allocation by the end of the year. The program is intended to transform the economy through digitalization and green energy transitions.

Education remains a key priority for the upcoming school year. Minister Sofia Zacharaki detailed the appointment of 5,259 permanent teachers and the implementation of the ‘EduPlan.AI’ digital system for school staffing. To ensure readiness, the ministry aims to have approximately 30,000 substitute teachers in place by September 8. Support for educators in remote areas continues through housing assistance and financial bonuses.

Other central initiatives include the ‘Region 2030’ program for territorial cohesion, the National Social Agreement to combat the cost of living, and new spatial planning frameworks for tourism and renewable energy.
