The package, valued at €2.2 billion, included tax relief, wage increases, and a proposal for child savings accounts, as reported by Bloomberg and eKathimerini. The measures aim to boost household incomes ahead of the scheduled 2027 vote. The announcements triggered public demonstrations.

AP noted that Greeks took to the streets to protest the ongoing cost‑of‑living pressure despite the new relief promises. The tax cuts are presented as part of the relief package, while the wage hikes aim to raise pay scales. The National Herald quoted Theodorikakos stressing the credibility of the measures, while U.S.
