After listing the most recent of these, such as the granting of €7.5 billion in subsidies for electricity bills, emergency help for the vulnerable in the run-up to Christmas and impending pension increases, he pointedly noted: “There are easy criticisms and inexpensive promises, but now citizens do not believe that the fight against inflation can be done with a law and an article”.
