“The Minister of Energy Mr. Skylakakis confessed today in the Parliament that the government has no plan to support society after the cessation of electricity subsidies, in view of increased prices in the winter” emphasizes SYRIZA – Progressive Alliance in a statement issued after speech of the Minister of Environment and Energy during the debate in the Parliament, of the Programmatic Statements of the Government.

“After almost two years the ND government has been subsidizing the energy waste with the money of consumers and taxpayers, today it is faced with the impasses it has created.

As, when SYRIZA – Progressive Alliance was emphasizing the need for regulatory interventions in the energy market, which would reduce costs at the source, the ND government was proceeding with the privatization of PPC, tying the country to natural gas, and organizing a multi-billion euro party in excess profits.

The only solution so that society is not left unprotected in the face of energy costs is the recovery of PPC’s public character, the establishment of a maximum rate of profit and the taxation of excess profits. This is why SYRIZA – Progressive Alliance together with society will fight every day” concludes the announcement
