“PASOK is wrong. Obviously, he has decided on his priorities and strategy and that is his right. He has turned the steering wheel to the left, because that’s what he thinks he has to do to occupy a space, which he thinks is privileged for it. However, this is completely different from what happened yesterday in Parliament. “Things here are concrete and you can not keep equal distances from those who try to humiliate the institutions, from Polakismos which is identified with the opposition tactics of SYRIZA on the one hand and with the rules of democracy and parliament on the other,” he stressed. government spokesman Giannis Oikonomou in an interview on Alpha 989 radio station.
“It was not a difference between the parties. We had this mentality, what we saw, towards the rules of operation of democracy and parliament. “You can not keep equal distances from such practices that demean the institutions, towards the transfer of a logical” squatting “to the floor of parliament on the one hand and the rules of operation of democracy and parliament on the other,” he added. .
Mr. Oikonomou estimated that there is a choice in the party of the official opposition to lead things to extreme polarization, “undermining the institutions, attempting a huge division in Greek society with tones and style, continuing a needy opposition that we saw all the previous which is now also confronted with the basic rules of operation of democracy and parliament “.
“So, those who have knowledge of how democracy and parliament work, those who should have an even greater sensitivity, because of their tenure and representations in the European Parliament, in this particular incident, do not mean to hold equal distances. “Because equal distances in this logic, constitute an absolute identification, with attitudes and such mentalities,” he said.
The government spokesman also stressed that the Judiciary in the management of the specific cases ruled in a specific way, after a thorough investigation of five years. “Now he is investigating some other cases and, obviously, he will soon come to conclusions that can be positive or negative for everyone who is accused and examined or whatever. “This and some others – to hide their political nakedness and to create associations, to lead the people to the railings to come out and say that it is undemocratic for Justice to do its job,” he added.
He also said that what happened yesterday in the parliament was a pre-planned tactic of SYRIZA, with Mr. Polakis as its spokesman, who, as he characteristically said, is used to us leading the way in such things. “We will not follow this dangerous path of polarization. Greece is a state governed by the rule of law, it is a European democracy. “Freedom of expression is protected by the constitution, by the laws,” he noted.
Regarding the price increases due to the energy crisis, Mr. Economou, after pointing out that this is an energy crisis, the equivalent of which we have not experienced in the last 40 years, added “we do not sit idly by. We gave four hundred million in January alone. There will be new support in February. We increased the perimeter of support from households and passed on to businesses and farmers “.
“As far as food and goods are concerned, we are pursuing an income-boosting policy to help households, and on the other hand, there are extensive controls. We will consider other interventions. We are leading to the second increase of the minimum wage in the next period. “With a combination of policies, we are doing the best we can in a situation that is not simple and, above all, is not treated superficially and with findings,” he said.
Finally, on the government’s social policy, the government spokesman said that the government has enabled every citizen who has an asset to pay less ENFIA from 2019 onwards, has exempted private sector workers from the solidarity contribution and unemployment has fallen. due to the policy of attracting investment and creating new jobs “For the first time since 2010 the country has four million employees. On May 1, the minimum wage will be increased. Disposable income has increased compared to what it was in 2019. Taxes have already been reduced and we are not done. Employees’ insurance contributions to the private sector have also been reduced. “There is no person in recent years, from 2019 onwards, whose disposable income is not better than it was then,” he said.
“Apart from OAED programs, jobs have been created by large companies that have made investments in the country. From Cisco, from Microsoft, from Pfizer, from acquisitions and from giants investing here. From new Greek companies that opened during the crisis and that gave jobs to both the owners and the people they hired to work. This is the reality. We still have a long way to go, we have very high unemployment rates, we are at 13.4%. We were, however, at 17.3%. Isn’t this a path that shows we are on the right track? “Isn’t this a path that shows what path you have to follow in order for people to find jobs?” concluded Mr. Economou.
