Greek PM Mitsotakis urges EU fiscal flexibility, fuel tax cuts ahead of winter

Greek PM Mitsotakis told Bloomberg that Europe faces a difficult winter and needs greater fiscal flexibility to mitigate energy costs, proposing a coordinated EU initiative to reduce fuel taxes. He also addressed Greek bonds and free navigation, signaling a push for EU-level intervention as energy prices pressure households. The request reflects growing southern European pressure for joint fiscal measures, though EU consensus remains uncertain.
