Ongoing Parliamentary Debate on Minimum Wage in Greece
The Greek Parliament is engaged in a heated debate over a proposed minimum wage bill for the second consecutive day, with party leaders, including Nikos Androulakis and Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, set to address the assembly. Controversies arise over a proposed minimum wage of 950 euros and the implications of a new algorithm for salary determinations. Critics, including Dimitris Koutsoumbas of the KKE, argue that the bill threatens workers’ rights and may lead to a decrease in the minimum wage amid natural disaster responses.
