Economic views focus on public sector spending, contrasting with fiscal discipline (a 1% cut in expenditures) in a situation where the demand for healthcare services has grown. Preference is given to maintaining the volume of services in the interest of public health, even if it requires greater expenditure, rather than improving the budgetary position at the expense of reducing operational costs.

Economic policies are focused on a crisis exit strategy that necessitates investment, rather than tax hikes and spending cuts. It supports implementing a bank tax to levy enormous profits (550 million euros) and public sector personnel reform. It is strongly opposed to tax increases that diminish families' ability to cope and deepen the economic recession.

Economic perspectives focus on the critical need for state funding in the healthcare sector to ensure the continuity of services. The speaker stresses the immediate necessity of securing 30–50 million euros to prevent hospital closures and compensate healthcare staff for overtime work, thereby highlighting the need for a flexible fiscal policy during a crisis.
