The context of support measures of households and businesses that will be announced by the government next week, the government spokesman, Giannis Oikonomou, outlined speaking to SKAI and the show “Kalimera”. As he said, the government will do its best to mitigate the effects of the price increases.
For electricity and gas bills, he noted that not only will horizontal support continue, but it will be strengthened.
Regarding the price of gasoline, he stressed that “it has escaped dangerously”, noting that it will not be left out of the scope of government interventions, “always in the context of sensible moves” and confirming the Minister of Finance, Christos Staikouras, who speaking at night on Thursday on SKAI revealed that there will be interventions in fuel prices.
In today’s post, the Daily states that the government support package will also include a subsidy for petrol and heating oil. The relief will not be about horizontal tax cuts, due to budgetary costs, but will target the financially weaker.
At the same time, Mr. Economou announced in advance that by the end of the week the extraordinary payment of financial assistance to households will be announced, the so-called “check of accuracy”. “A large part of the losses should be replaced and households will be able to cope with the appreciation,” he said.
However, he also opened fire on SYRIZA, emphasizing that “we are facing the threat of a second wave of populism and anti-systemic behavior like the one we saw how much it cost the country in the last decade. We must not let demagogy, which angers people, find a suitable field “.
He commented that Alexis Tsipras is out of place and time. “He can not explain the magnitude of the crisis from his stay in Mitsotakis. Either he has a huge ignorance or his speech is characterized by a huge degree of hypocrisy. Both are unacceptable for the institutional role of the leader of the official opposition. “As he did in the pandemic, so now he demagogues, lies and proposes things that are not applicable and do not address the essence of the problem,” he said.
Finally, regarding tomorrow’s meeting between the Prime Minister and Recep Tayyip Erdoγan, the government spokesman stressed that “Greece is going to this meeting with confidence, because in the last two years our geopolitical and geostrategic imprint has been greatly strengthened. and the country’s positions are in line with international law. ”
