Farmers have their rights, but the fiscal space has been exhausted, the Deputy Finance Minister told SKAI and Atariastos Nikos Papathanasis.

“There is a fiscal space, it has been exhausted, it is not only the farmers, there are our vulnerable fellow citizens. There is no other chance” he said characteristically.

“Farmers have the right to protest and they have their rights. “Due to the accuracy, their activity has been affected,” noted Mr. Papathanasis. However, he reminded that farmers have less than 10 minutes per kilowatt-hour of energy, and 100% refund of the tax with advance payment.

Overall the Daniel reached 3.5 billion euros. The program is “running” and the compensations are “running” and will be given, said Nikos Papathanasis.

He also pointed out that the support program for tourist accommodation which shows great participation, and another for general entrepreneurship, are extended until March 22. A 45 to 60% subsidy is provided for own participation.

Also announced next week is the Change Devices program for small and medium-sized businesses. At the same time, the Deputy Minister of Finance recalled another financial tool, TEPIX III.
