Staikouras to Tsipras: I prefer intense dialogues, rather than capital controls – Watch live: The speech of the finance minister in the debate on the budget

With a response to the reports of the president of SYRIZA for “binelikia” with the bankers the Minister of Finance began his speech, Christos Staikouras. As he said, he prefers tough dialogues, rather than the imposition of capital controls. At the same time, he spoke about 10 myths that SYRIZA peddles about the Economy, to which, as he said, he will answer in the continuation of his speech.

First myth: the economy is collapsing. This, Mr. Staikouras said, would have been recorded in the European economic indicators.

Myth two: The government is celebrating badly, we did it all: We came out of enhanced supervision in the summer, they brought an additional memorandum. For the first time today, Greece returns to European normality.

Third myth: ND left empty coffers. Then how did you pay salaries and pensions? Total cash was €16 billion at the end of 2014. Total was €28 billion. What did he deliver? You delivered the property at the amount you received it. Today we have the cash we received, we went to the markets, we won trust abroad.

Fourth myth– did taxes go up? We reduce and continue to reduce taxes, We are the only country that does so in the Eurozone. Employees had a 4% decrease in the last three years. We return the above income to society. Mr. Tsipras says where the money went. If he opened the budget he would see.

-Another myth- Greece does not support households and businesses: The support provided by this government is the bravest at European Union level.

– Myth, Greece missed inflation estimates: What will it say about the EU, Lagarde, the ESM? They fell back too. you do not realize that there is an external crisis. Supreme uncertainty. based on November data we have the sixth lowest inflation in Europe. Inflation is high, persistent, but it turns out that we are doing our best to support Greek society.

-Myth- the government proceeded to remove auctions and immunity to bank executives: Law of SYRIZA, May 2017. In 2018 there is a report by the commander of the Cabinet of Ministers, he talks about the immunity of executives. You legislated it. Tsipras signature: The company’s management is legitimized in every action. You voted for it in 2015. We had a horizontal removal of the first house at the beginning of 2019. Then you made a scheme for bad loans until 2018. We expanded it, we registered it.

– Myth – tweet by Mr. Tsipras, 23/10/2022: Why can’t the owner settle his red loan – answers Mr. Tsakalotos, because this is not logical.

– Myth, the comparison of the two periods: Which is the four-year SYRIZA and which is ours? Real disposable income has been boosted by this government. The comparison is a catalyst. Did Mr. Tsipras have anything to say about development? Are we serious? it had a quarter of the European average.

Indeed, unemployment began to decline under the SYRIZA government. For bad loans, the third recapitalization takes place and by the end of 2015 there would be no bad loans. Today it is at 9.7%. Deposits are up by 48 billion euros.
