In the show studio «Direct» with George Eugenidis found the Minister of Development Takis Theodorikos, which referred to the market path, implementation «Poso Kanei», interventions to reduce prices, measures to protect consumers and the political scene, INT and developments in the opposition. As regards the profit and the price trend on the market, he stated that the measure would be maintained in food if there were no substantial reductions, while for fuel it announced its withdrawal from July.
The Minister of Development started referring to implementation «Poso Kanei», noting that it already has a significant impact on consumers and contributes to market transparency, as over 250,000 citizens have made use of it. As he stressed, the aim is to strengthen competition and act as a tool of pressure towards the market for lower prices.
However, he added that he was surprised by the opposition's attitude towards implementation, saying that «complex reaction».
Takis Theodorikos regarding the profit side, noted that fuel has been geared towards its withdrawal since July, while food has made it clear that the measure will be maintained if there are no substantial price reductions. At the same time, it left the possibility open «Gentlemen's agreement» by buying de-escalation of prices.
In the field of consumer credit, the minister presented the new bill, which – as he said – concerns all citizens, as it strengthens transparency in banking contracts and limits interest rates. As he said, a maximum potential burden of 30%–50% is foreseen, as well as greater protection for the borrower. In addition, it mentioned the right to withdraw 14 days from bank contracts without penalties, but also an obligation on banks to provide human service instead of exclusively automated systems.
Referring to the ITH announcements, the Minister stressed that small and medium-sized entrepreneurship, which he described as a critical pillar of the economy, will be at the heart of the focus.
At political level, speaking of Αλέξη Τσίπρα, σημείωσε ότι όσοι προσδοκούσαν «ιδεώδεις καταστάσεις από ηγέτες έχουν απογοητευτεί», ενώ τόνισε ότι η Νέα Δημοκρατία παραμένει δύναμη σταθερότητας απέναντι σε πολιτικά «πειράματα».
Για τον ΟΠΕΚΕΠΕ, παραδέχθηκε ότι υπήρξε σκάνδαλο, υπογραμμίζοντας ότι η κυβέρνηση έχει αναλάβει τις ευθύνες της, ενώ για τις υποθέσεις που αφορούν στελέχη της ΝΔ σημείωσε ότι η Δικαιοσύνη έχει τον τελικό λόγο. Για την υπόθεση με την Αννα Μισέλ Ασημακοπούλου και τα email των αποδήμων σχολίασε «Να κυνηγιέται επειδή έστειλε mail;».
Τέλος, αναφορικά με τον Αντώνη Σαμαρά και τον Κώστα Καραμανλή, εξέφρασε την εκτίμηση ότι πρέπει να παραμείνουν εντός της Νέας Δημοκρατίας, ενώ δήλωσε ότι δεν πιστεύει πως ο Αντώνης Σαμαράς θα προχωρήσει στη δημιουργία νέου κόμματος. Οσον αφορά το θέμα των συνεργασιών μετά τις εκλογές σχολίασε: «στην πολιτική ποτέ μη λες ποτέ». Στόχος, όπως κατέληξε, παραμένει η αυτοδυναμία της ΝΔ και η πολιτική σταθερότητα.
