Greece will keep its diesel subsidy in place through June at €0.15 a liter, with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis saying the measure should leave pump prices about €0.30 below March levels.
A one-off €150 payment per child is also due by the end of June, part of what Mitsotakis cast as support for household incomes during economic strain while preserving long-term stability.
At the same cabinet meeting, Mitsotakis attacked opposition parties and newly emerging political movements, arguing they lack credibility and are bound mainly by criticism of his government.
The announcement follows a report that Athens was weighing an extension of energy-support schemes as fuel prices and inflation rose, with about €200 million available for June measures.
With Greece subsidizing fuel, is it sacrificing long-term green energy goals for short-term economic relief?
As Greece extends price controls, is it creating a sustainable economic model or just delaying an inevitable market correction?
