So, he added, "we continue with the same seriousness as always, we are not influenced by any big-mouthed statements, inexpensive proclamations, with seriousness in the triptych that we follow in terms of our economic policy in order to have a targeted social policy with a particular emphasis on the areas of health, education of social benefits, I mentioned it repeatedly".
Besides, he referred to his yesterday's visit to Amiantos, thanking all those who were with him, such as Ministers, General Directors, officials and officials while he expressed satisfaction for the presence of the people.
"We spoke very specifically, we made announcements that were costed, they were not promises, we referred to what we have implemented in these 19 months that people are feeling in the countryside in our mountainous regions," he said.
