Chris Avramidis stated that he asked the government how many projects from the Recovery Fund had been completed and were functioning, but he did not receive a numerical answer. He said that Kyriakos Mitsotakis was celebrating "100% absorption" of the 36 billion euros, while, according to a comparative study by PASOK, about two-thirds of the measures in the original "Greece 2.0" plan had been reduced in terms of physical scope, altered targets, or completely removed. According to him, several projects had been transferred to ESPA programs or to national resources. In light of the floods in Crete, Avramidis said that in July none of the four anti-flood projects and the 18 irrigation projects under consideration had been completed, and the same was true for water supply projects. He also noted that none of the civil protection policy objectives he set had been completed: the 13 regional centers, the upgrading of seven Canadairs, and the 11 firefighting aircraft. According to Avramidis, government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis did not provide numbers and referred to other issues such as the personal doctor, the digital tutor, job vacancies, and absorption rates. When Avramidis repeated the question about civil protection projects, Marinakis reportedly said, "you probably have no idea about the functioning of the Recovery Fund," and pledged to ask for an update. Avramidis concluded by asking how much of the initial physical scope had been delivered and how many projects had practically improved the daily lives and safety of citizens. He said he was still waiting for numbers. #ΤαμείοΑνάκαμψης #Πολιτική #Δημοκρατία (translated)
