The figures align with recent Hellenic Statistical Authority (ELSTAT) data on deprivation, highlighting a persistent gap between Greece and the EU average. From 2023 to 2024, Greece’s at-risk population grew by 0.8%, adding over 80,000 individuals. Eurostat notes that official numbers likely understate the issue, as marginalized groups like the homeless, Roma, prisoners, and those in institutions or camps are often excluded from surveys.
The reform at the Ministry of National Defense is being hailed as a government “case study” in recent days, as the significant cost savings achieved under the oversight of Defense Minister Nikos Dendias paved the way for salary increases for the Armed Forces and, eventually, all security forces in the country.

The recent directive from the Minister of National Defense, Nikos Dendias, which unexpectedly ordered General Staff Chief General Dimitrios Houpis to conduct extraordinary evaluations in the Armed Forces for the ranks of Lieutenant General and Major General, Rear Admiral and Vice Admiral in the Navy, and Air Marshal and Air Vice Marshal, reflects a change in the overall perception regarding official duties, responses to modern operational demands, and the hierarchical development of permanent personnel in the Armed Forces.
Defence Minister Nikos Dendias has described Agenda 2030 as more than a roadmap for military reform, emphasising its "conservative, reformist, and progressive" values. This initiative seeks to bridge the armed forces with Greek society while addressing pressing issues such as infrastructure, personnel welfare, and cutting-edge defence capabilities.
