The Government Observatory reported that Greece, while representing less than 5% of European pharmaceutical production in 2018 and being an importer, had developed a domestic pharmaceutical industry over the past seven years. According to the post, there were now 51 production units and 31 research and development centers operating in the country. The author noted that Greece exported pharmaceuticals to 147 countries and that these were the country's first exported industrial product, with a value of 2.75 billion euros. He added that investments exceeding 1.8 billion euros were underway, with Arcadia evolving into a pharmaceutical center. He cited examples such as Demo's investment in Tripoli amounting to 356 million euros, ELPEN's investment in Arcadia and Attica totaling 350 million euros, as well as investments by FARAN in Tripoli and Rontis in Larissa, totaling 180 million euros. According to the post, Greece was approaching 15% of European pharmaceutical production and would soon cover nearly 40% of European demand for penicillin-based medications and 35% for oncology drugs in Greece. The Government Observatory also claimed that the growth of the sector created jobs for thousands of Greek scientists and attributed this trajectory to the incentives of the investment clawback, which, it stated, was established by a government law. #ΦαρμακευτικήΒιομηχανία #Εξαγωγές #Ελλάδα (translated)

Leonidas Palaiodimos argued that anyone who passed through 15 countries to reach a country with a better economic situation was an economic migrant and not a refugee. He added that this was acceptable as long as it was done legally and through the prescribed procedures, while he stated that this distinction was valid according to practice and common sense, not according to what he termed "professional rights activists." #Μετανάστευση #ΟικονομικήΚατάσταση #Δικαιώματα (translated)

Tasos Kapetanakos described the refereeing of Katsikogiannis and Koumbarakis as provocative, asserting that it aimed to keep the very poor PAOK "upright." He added that this was not enough and, referring to what Kokkinos and Papadopoulos had done with AEK, told the president of the Hellenic Football Federation that he would remember the intentions of all. #aek #aekfc #football #διαιτησία #ΠΑΟΚ (translated)

Adonis Georgiadis stated that he proceeded to sign ministerial decisions for the establishment and operation of the Central Information System for Blood Donation and the National Blood Donor Registry. He said that there had been previous work by HDYKA M.A.E. for the installation and upgrading of the information systems of blood donation services in 96 hospitals, funded by the Recovery and Resilience Facility. According to him, the National Blood Donor Registry had already been transferred since the morning to the infrastructures of HDYKA and was operating in a controlled environment, serving the hospitals, the National Blood Donation Center, and the donors. Georgiadis said that digital integration would enhance interoperability, blood inventory management, traceability, and the safety of procedures, with the ultimate beneficiaries being patients in need of transfusion. He added that he had faced criticism for the project in the Parliament and in repeated publications, but he insisted and, as he said, completed it in record time without expense from the state budget. He stated that the ministry and the blood donors had been discussing its implementation for 20 years. #Αιμοδοσία #ΥγειονομικόΣύστημα #ΨηφιακόςΜετασχηματισμός (translated)

Amalia wrote that if diplomacy had developed differently in late 1940 or early 1941, the Soviet Union could have attacked Greece while it was fighting Italy. She argued that the German-Soviet pact did not define spheres of influence in the Balkans and that Stalin was particularly interested in Bulgaria. According to her post, on November 25, 1940, Soviet diplomat Arkady Sobolev conveyed a proposal for an alliance in Sofia. Amalia stated that the USSR offered Bulgaria military support in case of threat, support for its territorial claims in Greek areas, non-interference in its internal politics, and free grain and oil. In return, she claimed, it sought to establish naval and air bases in Varna and Burgas, while Stalin asked Hitler to recognize Bulgaria as part of the Soviet sphere of influence. Amalia argued that the Comintern, in a message signed by Georgi Dimitrov, called on the Bulgarian Communist Party to mobilize politicians and the public in favor of the proposal. She estimated that Soviet support for Bulgarian claims would require an ultimatum to Greece and, in the event of refusal, an invasion by Soviet and Bulgarian troops. In the post, Hitler prevented the agreement, warning of a potential Sovietization of Bulgaria and promising the Bulgarians the same Greek territories without war. Amalia noted that King Boris rejected the Soviet proposal and that Bulgaria joined the Axis in March 1941. #Ιστορία #ΕλληνοϊταλικόςΠόλεμος #ΣοβιετικήΈνωση (translated)

The salary scale in the public sector, while public employees benefited from reductions, at the same time there were increases in salaries and this enlarged the base, so as a whole the tax reform had a smaller impact compared to what was expected while there are measures, for now, these measures do not seem to be reflected in results. The results would be a reduction in uncollected taxes. There is an improvement in collectability because many well-paid foreigners are employed and this has helped, at least at this stage the OAP is one of the two reasons this is happening, according to Mr. Charalambous "is that many well-paid foreigners are employed and this has helped, at least at this stage the OAP." It is that the agreed increase in social contributions established by law is being incorporated. And I say this because it is important for us to keep this in mind. Without these increases, social insurance would be hardly viable. In our view, there will be no long-term sustainability of pensions without the introduction of the second pillar. By its nature, it must be done gradually, which is why it must be done today. If we postpone it, we have gained nothing, because we must introduce this institution and we must introduce it gradually so that it can be absorbed by businesses. Mr. Charalambous described the issue of the second pillar of pensions as very important. #Οικονομία #Συντάξεις #ΔημόσιεςΔαπάνες (translated)
