“Especially in food, the cumulative increase of the last two years amounts to 26.77%, which is a continuing drain on the incomes of the vast majority of citizens, especially the weakest,” the announcement states.
Criticism of the government for accuracy on the occasion of ELSTAT’s announcements PASOK with a statement he issued.
More detail:
“Today’s announcement by ELSTAT with an increase in the annual change of VAT to 3.5%, compared to 3% the previous month and with food inflation driving it December with 8.9%confirms once again that the accuracy continues unbroken.
At the same time, the government has turned inflation into a key tool of economic policy in order to collect surplus revenues, which it exploits on clientelistic terms instead of strengthening the welfare state with institutional interventions.
In particular, in food, the accumulated increase of the last two years amounts to 26.77%, which is a continuing drain on the incomes of the vast majority of citizens, especially the weakest.
With the phenomena of speculation now recorded and the speculators essentially unpunished, since the government does not publish the results of the checks with the names of the products, with unscrupulous banks profiting from the opening of interest rates and the rents being prohibitive especially for the new ones couples, with multiple increases in infant milk compared to other countries, the government insists on the same failed recipes, with its only interest in saving its communication image.
For PASOK-Movement of Change, the fight for the protection of struggling households will be permanent, as long as the government ignores the specific proposals we have submitted and as long as it continues to favor the few who hoard, at the expense of the many”.
