Greece’s conservative government under Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis pledges more than €2 billion in support measures ahead of next year’s general election, while protesters take to the streets over the rising cost of living. The announcement includes tax relief and salary increases, alongside other measures intended to ease financial pressure on households.
Protesters gather in large numbers, with reporting describing thousands demonstrating late Saturday. Outlets frame the demonstrations as a response to affordability concerns, though the core coverage converges on the political timing of the government’s pledge. ABC News, Japan Today, and The Independent all emphasize the same package size and the election-related context, with differences mainly in how they characterize the scale and immediacy of the street protests rather than the substance of the promised policy steps.
