The discussion about the past does not concern society, on the contrary, it is interested in the present”, emphasized the government representative Pavlos Marinakis speaking on the “Today” show on SKAI regarding Stefanos Kasselakis’ attack on Simitis.

Asked about this, Mr. Marinakis said that he answered indirectly in the statements of Mr. Kasselakis, when he was asked about it by journalists, and this is because, as he said, “we must have awareness, regardless of what happened before 2015. Mr. Kasselakis, is the president of a party that loaded us with the most useless memorandum and brought citizens to queues outside banks and did not he can speak in such a way about a former prime minister, fully adopting the rhetoric of his deputy, Mr. Polakis, about debt and bankruptcy.”

Regarding the possibility that tax exemptions are cut clarified that there is no question of repeal or any increase in tax rate. “I am not the representative of the Ministry of Finance but I do not have any such information” he noted and added that Mr. Stournaras is not in the Greek government.

On the issue of debt, noted that Greece is a champion in the reduction, stressing at the same time that the bill will examine who exactly are self-employed from the 71% who declare below the minimum wage.

For the Exarchia and about the protests that are taking place regarding the construction of the subway in the area’s square, he noted that the government is determined to proceed with all the changes. “The subway in Exarchia is a project that will help the Athenians”, he said and added “some people are trying to get caught up in trivial occasions to prove revolutionary”.
