Katrinis: “Mitsotakis’ policy and practices are a threat to the country’s stability”

Fierce the head of the PASOK-KINAL Parliamentary Group, Michalis Katrinis, criticized the government while speaking in Parliament during a debate 2023 budget.

“PASOK, which was meant to be a convenient government partner, is over. PASOK, which was the target of discredit and defamation, is over. Executives who use PASOK for their personal advancement and enrichment have no place in PASOK. PASOK does not need executives who negotiated or are negotiating chairs and appointments with New Democracy or SYRIZA,” he said characteristically and added: “we know what is happening, underground routes that were in progress. After all, some have a syndromic relationship with underground routes, and deviations. But apostasy was never legitimized by life and history.

At the same time he characterized him prime minister as a problem for the political stability of the country and for smooth political developments while addressing Mr. Mitsotakis he said: “You should probably start realizing that the country does not begin and end with you. You should perhaps start realizing that you will not always be in the prime minister’s position. And because we said that you will not be prime minister with our support, it does not mean that Mr. Tsipras will be prime minister.”

Referring to the issue of monitoring and in the functioning of institutions and Justice, the head of PASOK’s K.O proceeded with a comparison with how institutions and justice functioned in Brussels in the recent case with the corruption scandal, pointing out:
“In Brussels, no one told the Le Soir journalists investigating the stinking financial scandal that was revealed that they were tired. In Brussels, no one put the journalists investigating the scandal under surveillance, as was done here with Mr. Koukakis. In Brussels, the Judiciary moved quickly and brought results, while here it blocked the investigation of an independent authority. In Brussels, there was no attempt to cover up and obfuscate the case, as was done here with the government itself as the protagonist.”
Speaking about the budget and the real picture of the Greek economy, Mr. Katrinis was revealing, pointing out that:

• Productive investment in the country fell, the trade deficit increased by 63.2% and the current account deficit increased by 4.7 billion euros.
• 55% of the jobs created are part-time or rotating jobs, with salaries below 400 euros.
• The first 41 approved loans of the Fund were given to very large companies, after an evaluation that was left blank to the banks.
• The public debt today is greater by 3 billion even than the public debt before the PSI. The public debt nightmare hasn’t gone away, it’s here
• Greeks pay indirect taxes on fuel, twice as much as their counterparts in the EU
• The great majority of Greek citizens are defenseless against accuracy and profiteering. 3 million citizens face immediate risk of poverty and social exclusion and 1.8 million citizens lack basic goods for their livelihood.
• The great majority of citizens are trapped in the abyss of private debt that exceeds 270 billion euros, 1,200,000 are bad loans, while 4,200,000 citizens owe the tax office.

“Mr. Mitsotakis and his ministers are not aware of all these problems concerning the average citizen, normal people. However, they know people like Mr. Patsis, who can borrow preferentially from the banks in order to get rich on the labors of a lifetime of thousands of citizens, through auctions main residence.
They know the electricity and gas providers that record the second highest profit rate in Europe, selling electricity for twice what they bought it on the energy exchange.
And because they know them, they don’t touch them. The big financial interests are the sacred cow for this government,” stressed Mr. Katrinis.
