ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis unveiled a 1.6 billion-euro ($1.87 billion) tax cuts package Saturday that includes a number of reductions affecting some 4 million citizens. He announced the package in a keynote speech at the Thessaloniki International Fair.

The head of Greece’s government traditionally outlines the following year’s economic policies at the fair every September, while touting their achievements.

At last year’s speech, Mitsotakis had declared “I have not come with a bag full of gifts.”

This year’s speech was mostly about gifts designed to boost as many incomes as possible. Mitsotakis himself put the beneficiaries — the middle class, the young, large families, pensioners and others — at around 4 million.

This was not a pork barrel fest, yet
