From the Food Expo exhibition which was visited at noon by the president of PASOK-Movement for Change, Nikos Androulakis strongly criticized the government for inaccuracies in dealing with accuracy and the gap between real wages and profits of powerful companies that is constantly widening.

As the president of PASOK-KINAL stated, “accuracy from being imported, as Mr. Mitsotakis characterized it, has become domestic with the signature of his inaction.

Inflation has increased by 20% in food. We have been reading for the last few days that we will have a 20% increase in mobile and landline tariffs as well as the internet.

The consumer price index for food has risen by 31.2% since the start of the inflationary crisis.

All this has to do with the ineptitude of the New Democracy”.

He emphasized how “the few fines, the few checks on the market are the result of an ideology, which considers that the market self-regulates in periods of great crises, with the result that the middle class and the poorest Greeks pay dearly for the marble”

The president of PASOK-KINAL, regarding businesses, and specifically small and medium businesses, noted that they are in a very difficult situation. That didn’t happen. We believe that there should be regulation in private debt with 120 installments in debts to the tax office and EFKA. And of course, a second chance of dignity for bad loans” pointed out Mr. Androulakis.

Mr. Androulakis, asked to comment on the bill on non-state universities that was passed yesterday in the Parliament, pointed out that “the Minister of Education, Mr. Pierrakakis, and the Prime Minister support that non-state, non-profit universities are legislated. The scientific service of the Parliament had a different opinion, which we also have, that these are for-profit universities, because it is not possible for a foreign fund and a non-profit institution abroad to establish a non-profit institution in Greece.

That is why we asked the government to commit from now on that in the constitutional revision, the content of the text will talk about non-state non-profits. That is our proposal, in the first place, to give the required consent and to revise article 16.

There was no commitment. On the contrary, there was an attack on PASOK, because this question probably revealed their real agenda. What they believe, what they want to achieve: private, for-profit universities,” said Mr. Androulakis.
