The Deputy Minister of Finance of SYRIZA-PS, Efi Ahtsioglou, launched a fierce attack on the Deputy Minister of Finance, referring to his statements regarding the non-reduction of the excise tax on fuel.
“Mr. Σκυλακάκης continues to provoke and offend the world “stressed Ms. Ahtsioglou in an interview with Sky and on the show “The Unmatched” and went on to say that “let him go out and tell the people that he is not reducing the tax on gasoline because the poor do not have a car”.
“The unthinkable,” he said, “but is that today he has reached the point of talking about the price level of legumes, that it has not increased much! If he considers that a popular family today does not have a car and eats beans, it is a perception that corresponds to the period of occupation. “It’s Ludovicism!”, Underlined Ms. Ahtsioglou and commented that “she can not convince even Mr. Staikoura that emptied him “.
The Head of Finance pointed out that “SYRIZA has submitted an amendment requesting a reduction in excise duties on fuel to the lowest levels allowed by the European Union.” “This includes not only gasoline and diesel, but also heating oil and natural gas. “It is inconceivable that Mr. Skylakakis does not know this”, he added.
“The electricity subsidy implemented by the government has nothing to do with the relief that a household would have if the excise taxes on fuel were reduced”, she estimated, while in terms of the fiscal space, Ms. Ahtsioglou stressed “The issue is what priorities you set. “The government has chosen to reduce the capital gains tax, to reduce the tax on higher assets in terms of parental benefits.”
In order to relieve households from the pressure of the huge wave of increases, E. Ahtsioglou said that it should be addressed by reducing VAT on food. And that is a matter of priorities, he said. “Mr. Staikouras said that the reduction of VAT on bread costs 140 million. True. At the same time, however, it proceeded to reduce the tax on the accumulation of capital and the parental benefits for high estates. Reductions related to maximum incomes. Do you know how much this cost? 360 million. “It found 360 million to reduce taxes to a minimum but did not find it to reduce VAT on bread.”
Finally, E. Ahtsioglou stressed that the way the government manages its explosive wave accuracy creates great anger and resentment in the world. “It is very likely that we will lead to political developments. For our part, we believe that there is no more room for this government to remain. “It can not manage any of the big issues that concern the vast majority of society,” he concluded.
