Economou for Tsipras: Identified with populism and lies

“Mr. Tsipras has shown that his political anxiety has turned into an obsession with Kyriakos Mitsotakis. This is the only way to explain that in a 33-minute interview he referred to the prime minister 22 times”, said Yiannis Oikonomou for the interview of the president of SYRIZA on the TV station Star.

“At the same time, he solemnly confirmed that he is identified with populism and lies. He absolutely adopted the “lists” of Mr. Vaxevanis, demanding that the government prove that this is not the case, when he should be demanding that his friend, the publisher of Documento, provide evidence for his claims. By the same logic, someone could blame Mr. Tsipras himself for the Pegasus malware, which he admitted tonight that it was operating during his days and, as has been published, Kyriakos Mitsotakis also fell victim to it,” the government spokesman continued.

He added: “Rule of law and democracy with coincidences and indications does not exist, anyway. In addition, he repeated the lie that Greece is the most expensive for electricity, when just yesterday, according to the HEPI (European Energy Price Index) monthly data for October, the retail price in Greece was the second cheapest among 15 European countries, on the floating tariffs. In fact, at a time when the retail price, in the fluctuating tariffs, of Spain is 39% more expensive and that of Portugal by 6%. Countries which were a point of reference for Mr. Tsipras.

Citizens see in their accounts the support of the state, which comes overwhelmingly from the taxation of surplus profits at the source and not from the state budget. To support his lies, Mr. Tsipras ignores the fact that Greece is to date the only country in Europe that has imposed a 90% tax on surplus profits and that the final amount was not calculated by the government, as he falsely claimed, but by RAE itself. He even went so far as to denounce the government for raising interest rates, as if he does not see what is happening everywhere in the world. The only thing he did not say is that he will “beat the drums” and change everything “with a law and an article”.

And at the height of his crescendo, he presented as the only alternative the formation of a government of cooperation of SYRIZA with Mr. Varoufakis. The only proposal of Mr. Tsipras is the recycling of failure and misery. Greece has changed and Mr. Tsipras will not again have the opportunity to plunge it into disrepute and decline.”
