Greece's prime minister promises tax cuts and wage hikes amid protests

In Thessaloniki, Greece, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced over 2 billion euros in tax cuts and salary increases during a speech on the economy. This announcement coincided with protests by over 25,000 people against the rising cost of living. Despite achieving a budget surplus and 2.1% economic growth last year, many workers face low purchasing power, prompting the government to implement these support measures ahead of the upcoming general election.
