Greece OKs disputed plan to get fresh aid
Print Edition
Greece’s government yesterday finalized a controversial redeployment scheme that will affect thousands of civil servants and is a condition for the country to receive fresh EU-IMF aid.
“We secured our final decisions, so that the country can be on schedule regarding the redeployment of 12,500 civil servants by the end of September,” Administrative Reform Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said after a ministerial meeting held under conservative Prime Minister Antonis Samaras.
Greece has pledged to redeploy 12,500 civil servants by the end of September and another 12,500 by the end of the year, in order to receive the next tranche of its rescue loans.
It has also agreed to axe 4,000 state jobs by the end of 2013, as part of cuts to public spending.
Workers under the scheme have to accept new posts offered to them or spend eight months on reduced salaries trying to find new posts, with the risk of losing their jobs altogether.
Already 4,401 civil servants out of the 12,500 included in the September deadline were redeployed in July, the state-run Athens News Agency reported.
Those were mostly teachers, school wardens and administrative reform ministry employees.
The remaining workers to be put on the scheme — which was the subject of the ministerial meeting — are expected to mainly come from ministries, the agency added.
