He commented that the prime minister “leaves gaps in his central pursuit of elections at the end of four years.”
“Elections are a social need because the precision we are experiencing is Mitsotaki precision,” he said. representative of SYRIZA, Nassos Iliopoulosspeaking on SKAI TV and the show “Today”.
“The debate on the need reduction of the excise duty on fuel started in Europe last October, long before the war in Ukraine. “As early as October, the reduction of the EFK in fuel was a proposed measure in the toolbox of the Commission”, underlined Nassos Iliopoulos. “If it was applied in our country for a year would cost 1.5 billion, a cost that is entirely feasible in the current fiscal conditions, “he added.
“Right now the country has the most expensive fuel in all of Europe in terms of the income of its citizens. “We are the only country where the minimum wage is lower than in 2010 and we have consistently had negative records in the wholesale price of electricity since August.” Nassos Iliopoulos noted and stated: “people see that the month does not come out, for the first time we have a electricity bill that comes greater than salary and pension”.
“Based on energy inflation, the May data show that in Greece the electricity has increased by more than 60% while the European average is below 40%. “This is exactly Mitsotaki”, he pointed out.
Emphasizing that elections are welcome and a “social need”, he explained: “a huge part of the problem, multiplier of the crisis, is Mr. Mitsotakis and politics Mitsotakis”. “It is the policy that keeps the excise tax at the same level, it is the policy that refuses to take measures to reduce electricity, as Spain and Portugal did. “The fact that Greece is the fifth worst country in the EU in collective agreements is a political choice,” he said.
“The ND government believes in a Balkan-type labor market, something we also experience in tourism. Why is 50,000 workers suddenly missing from tourism this year? Why did 5,000 people resign in the first month of the season? “Because in tourism they have made Manolades”, stressed Nassos Iliopoulos. “When you have made Manolades in tourism, at some point the new people who were making the season, will not go to do it”, he said.
Asked about the political developments, he commented: “Mr. Mitsotakis leaves cracks in his central pursuit of elections at the end of four years because, as they have done, they are afraid of the coming winter “. “And they do well and are afraid because they see the results of their policy. “Whenever elections take place, the people will give the answer”, concluded Nasos Iliopoulos.
