The plan, promoted by the Ministry of Interior in cooperation with KEDKE and OAED, for hiring 25,000 unemployed in municipalities in the years 2012-2015, is being processed. These workers are being selected from lists of unemployed of the local OAED and will not be able to work more than 135 hours per year. They will be hired for projects of direct labor, mainly in the construction field.
This was an earlier proposal of Deputy Interior Paris Koukoulopoulos, which is designed to enable municipalities to implement development projects in their area. The funding will be made by the European Investment Bank and the repayment of loans by the municipalities themselves, by commitment of revenues from specific taxes such as retaliatory charges, advertising taxes etc.
The criteria and other details are now being discussed as the project is still at an early stage.
