SYRIZA sources criticize the government regarding fan violence, the budget and KETHEA, who speak of an escalation of incidents of violence at a time when “even the police officers fear for their lives” as they typically state.

“The Mitsotakis government systematically proves that it is a government that says one thing and does another. The rise of fanatical violence and common crime belied her slogan of “order and security”. Even the policemen, now, are much more afraid for their lives, under the reality that this government has shaped” say official opposition sources.

With reference to the new tax law, the same sources add that “in the economy we see an increase in tax revenues at the expense of the many, horizontal and unfair taxation of the middle class and the purchasing power decreasing, while precision in food is a social “bomb”. It goes down in history as the government of generalized insecurity, directly mocking the people.”

“The budget debate is revealing. VAT revenue increased by 40% from 2021. Really which worker had a 40% increase? The loss of workers’ income in the midst of high inflation and profiteering is not met with half measures,” they continue.

“The “insecurity arithmetic” says that the OAED records 1,030,000 unemployed. That the country has the lowest average salary in the Eurozone. That we have the highest tax rate (27-year record in 2022): 29% of GDP. With the text of the Budget, the government continues to break its commitments. It does nothing about private debt and bad loans, it does nothing about the housing problem, about the climate crisis and its effects. It only imposes horizontal tax measures on the middle class, contrary to its pre-election promises,” they add.

In closing, the SYRIZA sources emphasize that “at the same time, in real life, he is launching regulations in the field of mental health, which are expected to fundamentally overturn the work of KETHEA in the fields of prevention and addiction, threatening it with closure. By consolidating all the agencies into one centralized, Athens-centric and rigid supercarrier, the government is sending a shock of insecurity to the people who need these services and their families.”
