Given that the vaccine is available, Greece’s economy and society will not be shut down again, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis underlined on Wednesday while addressing an event organised by the parliament’s standing committee for social affairs. Vaccinated citizens will not lose the rights they gained by following the advice of the scientists and the state, he added.
Mitsotakis clarified that the unvaccinated will be subjected to more testing instead. “I will once again ask those that are still hesitating to get vaccinated, if possible by tomorrow, so that we can stop mourning the loss of human lives which we could have prevented if we had higher vaccination rates, so as to reduce the pressure on our hospitals and finally escape this ordeal,” he said.
He also appealed to all the political parties “to be able to listen carefully to the advice of science and not pointlessly make political a national battle which must be won.”
