“SYRIZA has chosen a well-established opposition practice in both content and style on the issues of the pandemic,” government spokesman Giannis Oikonomou said in a statement, responding to a SYRIZA statement.
And he states in detail: “But even when he tries to submit proposals, what emerges is either his ignorance or his hypocrisy. For the sake of truth we quote the following:
It demands immediate order of the ICUs of the private clinics, when all the ICUs of the private clinics have been made available to EKAB for non Covid cases (since obviously Covid and non Covid cannot be in the same unit). As a result, the number of ICUs available for Covid cases in public hospitals has increased, which from 2019 until today, anyway, have more than doubled.
Requests rapid-test with compensation to the entire population (how many? 1, 2, 10, and for what activities?). This is a measure that is not financially and operationally feasible without sufficient reserves. The government provides the opportunity for free self-tests and so far 78 million self-tests have been given to 6.1 million citizens. Of these tests, 250,000 cases have been identified, while all those who are not vaccinated must have two rapid-tests per week.
They are asking for the immediate hiring of doctors who are supposedly waiting on waiting lists, when there is no waiting in any specialty of Covid interest, these are already serving in the NSS and recently more than 14,000 health workers have been hired in the health system.
In MMM today there are 1,320 buses in Athens out of the 850 that circulated in the summer of 2019, with the result that today we have 3,800 routes per day more, while in the Metro the increase of trains from 32 to 38, has as a result the noticeable reduction of waiting times .
50,208 teachers have been recruited in schools this year, of which 38,508 are deputies and 11,700 are permanent. In a total of 77,185 departments of general education in public schools, only in 4.5% there are more than 25 students while in large municipalities the average is 15-17 students. One of the most intensive protocols for the prevention of the spread of the virus has been implemented with increased controls that can reach up to 7 tests per week while the tracking data show no over-transmission in schools, on the contrary last month we have a 3,000 decrease in cases in schools .
As far as vaccinations are concerned, we inform the party that for months I have been working with the anti-vaccinators, that thanks to the obligation of those over 60+ who voted against, we have reached 80% of adults and 87% over 60 who have vaccinated, we also inform them that precisely because we gave the opportunity for the booster dose in time, today we have rates much higher than the European average for the beneficiaries of the third dose and that the supply of vaccines for children is done within the European order. The platform opens according to the availability of vaccines. On January 3, the platform reopens with the receipt of the new vaccines.
Finally, as suggested to us by the Commission, with which we have been cooperating since the beginning of the pandemic, masks were announced immediately everywhere and suspension of events as well as in the second phase (telework, changes in entertainment, etc.), while on Monday the Commission meeting will re-evaluate data and if necessary there will be adjustments.
For the last two years, in conditions of pandemic and multiple crises, we have been constantly trying at all levels. This is the truth that the government is pursuing. On the other hand, lying and falsification are the refuge of those who can not bear the responsibility of the decision and the opportunists who see in the pain of others a chance for profit.
Regarding Mr. Tsipras’s statements on price increases, we inform him that the government’s support to households results in the coverage of 80% of the price increases in relation to the corresponding bill before them, a 40% discount for all gas consumers. for December, a subsidy to cover 80% of the adjustment clause in all agricultural tariffs for electricity from August to December and all this when within a year, internationally, the price of electricity has increased fivefold and the price of natural electricity gas has increased tenfold “, concludes the statement of the government spokesman.
