The Head of Development and Investments of SYRIZA accused the government of “following the same logic of opacity and deceiving the citizens with the judgment of accuracy”
“Tsipras’ proposal for the formation of an Inter-Party Committee on the funds of the Recovery Fund should be considered self-evident, given that for the first time our country has to manage such a historic challenge for the Greek economy,” said the head of the Development and Investments department of SYRIZA , Alexis Haritsisat r/st “To Kokkino 105.5”.
“The government rejected it because it is allergic to social accountability and transparency”, he underlined and emphasized that “the government treats the Recovery Fund as if it were its party fund».
“THE government has failed miserably in the management of funds and in terms of efficiency and social reciprocity”, Mr. Haritsis continued. “The money that fell into the real economy to date does not exceed 1% of the total available resources, while of the 7.5 billion that our country already has, the real expenditure does not exceed 400 million euros. In other words, in the midst of an unprecedented crisis, this money is left to “stagnate” instead of being used“, write down.
“It is a question of political choices of each member state how to plan the financings” Mr. Haritsis emphasized and commented: “The Mitsotakis government sees this as an opportunity to strengthen the already powerful, attempting to block more than 85% of Greek businesses. But also as a mechanism for implementing the most anti-social counter-reforms, setting as prerequisites without being asked by the EU, the deregulation of labor relations and the privatization of supplementary insurance».
“We are committed as the next progressive government of SYRIZA-PS that we will use these resources where the Greek economy, small and medium enterprises and industry but also agricultural production and the region of the country really need them“, said Head of Development.
Besides, the Al. Haritsis accused the government of “following the same logic of opacity and deceiving the citizens and with the judgment of accuracy. It does not remove the readjustment clause but integrates it into the main account, while in the next period a new explosion of prices for final consumers is expected since it has strategically decided not to intervene in the production mechanism of speculation.”
“We have the responsibility to present a realistic and at the same time radical proposal to Greek society. What is certainly unrealistic is to proceed with today’s policies”, stressed Al. Haritsis. “Reform sections are needed in critical sectors, such as energy and the financial system, but also in the management of available funds, so that there is elementary relief for society and restructuring of the economy“, he characteristically pointed out.
“Clear explanations are needed from the government’s side on questions that have to do with the core of democracy, the violation of privacy and fundamental rights,” said the MP regarding Mr. Androulakis’ complaint about the monitoring of his phone. “Unfortunately to date there has been no response from the government regarding this very strange and dangerous case“, concluded Mr. Haritsis.
