The social benefits programs, under no circumstance, will be left outside fiscal policy, stated Minister of Finance Nikos Christodoulakis.

Development without employment can be likened to an empty shirt, while development and employment without social cohesion is dangerous, stated characteristically Mr. Christodoulakis.

The assurance that the fiscal policy will be followed strictly was given to the Association of Industries as well.

The government package is estimated at about 1.5 billion euros.

A strong criticism was made to the state of the economy by right-wing main opposition party of New Democracy leader Kostas Karamanlis, who maintained that Greece is second in the EU concerning long-lasting unemployment.
