“The government must provide an immediate solution to the problem of thousands of self-employed workers – freelancers, farmers, etc. – who are at risk of being left without medical care, due to debts incurred during the pandemic to EFKA” emphasizes the KKE in his statement.

“Her government is responsible for this situation SW, which, despite knowing the expected consequences of the lockdowns on the income of the self-employed, refused to implement the KKE’s proposal to subsidize the said individual insurance contributions from the State Budget and not simply suspend them, as it did, in the name of ” strengths” of the economy. At the same time, of course, he was subsidizing large capital with billions of euros, generously financing the “employer” insurance contributions. The rest of the parties, SYRIZA, PASOK/KINAL, are also responsible for supporting this unacceptable attitude of the government “through their silence”, adds the KKE and concludes:

“The KKE is committed to immediately bring back to the new Parliament the proposals it has repeatedly submitted for the cancellation of the individual insurance debts of the self-employed to the EFKA, which were created during the pandemic and more specifically for the cancellation of all debts in favor of the health sector. The health of the people is non-negotiable and the coverage of modern medical care services for all the people must be free.
