Katrougalos to brief President Pavlopoulos on social security reforms




Labour Minister George Katrougalos on Monday will brief the President of the Republic Prokopis Pavlopoulos on the social security reforms planned ahead of the negotiations with the creditors.

Katrougalos will start his meetings with the political leaders in Parliament, at 11:00. The meeting with Pavlopoulos has been scheduled for 18:00.

The draft law for the social security reforms will be tabled in Parliament in January because it is a prior action for the first evaluation, Labour Minister George Katrougalos said in an interview “Ethnos” newspaper on Sunday.

“I am in close and constant contact with the deputies of the government majority and I am certain that they will vote for a fair and necessary reform,” he underlined.

The Greek minister, however, said that the negotiation will be difficult as some of the lenders are particularly obsessed with cuts and so the government looks for a foothold on the diplomatic level.
