Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis referred to our weakest fellow citizens in his Easter message.
As Kyriakos Mitsotakis pointed out in his Easter message, “our thoughts, however, must primarily be directed towards our weakest fellow citizens, those who need our support more than ever these days, but also to all us, those who day and night, and on these Holy days, fight so that we all can be safe”.
The prime minister’s message in detail: As Holy Week draws to a close, the expectation of the Resurrection fills us all with hope, strength and optimism. Tradition dictates that we spend these Holy Easter days together with our loved ones.
Our thoughts, however, must run primarily to our weakest fellow citizens, those who need our support more than ever these days, but also to all and all of our servants, those who night and day, and on these Holy days , are fighting to keep each and every one of us safe.
Here, from Megalochari of Tinos, this island so important for our Orthodoxy, I want to wish every Greek woman, every Greek man, wherever they are, a happy Easter and a happy Easter. Happy Birthday”.

Andreas Skayas, owner of the abattoir of the same name in the Industrial Area of Patras, predicted a problem of adequacy this year in the market. He pointed out to “Peloponnisos” that those who did not take care to place an order in time at their butcher or at the supermarket, may not find a whole lamb or even at all in the next two days, because the wholesalers placed limited orders, fearing that they would be left with unavailable quantities, due to of competition from the “Easter Basket”.
Nikos Fikos, owner of clothing shops in the centre, noted: “The last few days there has been a lot of traffic, with people coming into the shop, shopping and that is positive. But in the previous period there was stillness since everyone seems to have been waiting for Easter. Of course, compared to last year, the data shows that we will move a little better in terms of turnover, but this is not enough to cover the small turnover of the previous months. However, we are optimistic. For our part, we have kept the prices stable in relation to 2023″.
Brigadier Kappa, president of the Patras Association of Confectioners, said: “In the last few days traffic has increased significantly and we already have many orders for Good Friday and Good Saturday. It should be noted that although the price of cocoa has risen, most of our colleagues had procured material early and we have maintained the same prices as of Easter 2023. We still cannot make a comparison, but the first samples show that the sector will move very well this Easter, although in essence we cannot make a comparison, as last Easter was earlier.”
From the branch of candlesticks and lamps, o Dimitris Avramis, owner of a candle shop on Gerokostopoulou Street, noted: “Traffic has increased a lot in the last few days and we can say that we are moving satisfactorily for this year’s Easter. Consumers also buy candles because of the days, but also candles for the day of Resurrection. I imagine traffic will peak even more on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday as there are many people rushing to buy candles at the last minute.”
From the footwear industry, Mr Michalis Zafeiropoulos, owner of a shoe store in the center, emphasized: “Since the previous week, the traffic has increased significantly, and the Easter gift to the employees helped significantly in this. The children’s shoe industry is doing well these days and it makes sense because everyone is shopping for their baby shoes. However, an inhibiting factor is that there are frequent marches these days and this made it difficult for consumers to come to the center and shop at their convenience.”
