PASOK leader: Young people not convinced to stay in Greece by government's low-wage job offers

As national elections approach, "we have an obligation to assess the real circumstances of workers and of the Greek economy," PASOK-Movement for Change (KINAL) leader Nikos Androulakis said on Monday, during rallies in Athens for Labor Day.

Speaking at the rally of the GSEE and ADEDY federations, Androulakis said that real wages dropped by 7.4% in 2022 alone, while the purchasing power of households is the third-worst among European Union member states.

PASOK-KINAL's leader also noted that "collective labor agreements were undermined, and [Prime Minister Kyriakos] Mitsotakis' development is a development of job openings offering a wage of 400 and 500 euros, which turn young people's top priority to leaving Greece" for jobs abroad.

On the May 21 election day, Androulakis said, all Greeks should join for change to build social justice for all, especially for younger generations.
