The Mitsotaki clause, in fact, leads us to a deep social crisis, said the president of SYRIZA-PS, Alexis Tsipras, speaking with residents of Agia, during his tour in Thessaly and accused the government of not having the political will to support society, the worker and the farmer.
Mr. Tsipras harshly criticized the government and the media, which, as he characteristically stated, “have imposed omerta and do not highlight the problems and mobilizations of the rural world.”
Specifically, he said: “It is the first time that the problems of the rural world are so big and so existential, but there has been a great deal from the media. No media deals with the problems of farmers. Not a single tribute. This has to do with the fact that this government wants to set up a regime in information and more. Today, Mr. Mitsotakis wanted to delete his MEP, Mr. Kyrtsos, because he said a great truth: that what is hidden inside the country, they know very well in Europe, that a government that has given millions to the media without criteria , cutting off any dissenting voice, targets and criminalizes journalists and judges. “A government that undermines democracy cannot fail to have an impact even within the institutional framework of the European Union.”
Referring to his visit, he said: “I am coming here today to highlight the problems of the rural world, problems that perhaps for the first time in recent years, are identical with the problems of every household that has survival problems, as income disappears from the third week, “Debts are rising and needs are rising, as there is a huge wave of accuracy.” He noted, however, that the wave of accuracy “is mainly due to the terrible energy crisis, which the government has multiplied with its choices. “It does not make sense to be the EU country with the most expensive wholesale electricity price.”
Mr. Tsipras reminded that while he ruled for four years with the troika, he did not increase the electricity by a single euro.
As reasons, the president of SYRIZA-PS explained that “the Mitsotakis government decided to operate PPC with purely private economic criteria… They decided to transfer 17% of PPC, putting from the Greek State 100 million to increase the share capital for Public from 51% to 34%. And now, instead of PPC fulfilling its role as a public enterprise, it is competing with other private providers in how much the price of electricity will go… And at a time when households are groaning, the bills are coming up 3 and 4 times, and farmers see it no longer profitable to cultivate their fields, PPC announces balance sheets with a profit of 850 million and celebrates the yaps and golden boys who receive a salary of 360 thousand euros… At the same time, the other golden boys of DEPA went and negotiated with Gazprom price of natural gas which is 30% more expensive than the price of Bulgaria. That’s why the prices have gone to god. It is not a natural phenomenon. It is a Mitsotaki clause that increases the phenomenon of accuracy and hurts the pockets of households and businesses “.
“We are leading to a deep social crisis”
Continuing, Alexis Tsipras referred to the general problem of precision that affects households: “This whole situation is becoming a nuclear threat to society, because it is passed on to supermarkets. Inflation, which has soared, however, is not the same for everyone. It is not the same for the pensioner who receives 600 and 700 euros and gets the PPC bill and it is almost as much as his pension. That is why I express my deepest concern. If this is maintained, we are leading to a deep social crisis. “There is an urgent need to support households.”
He referred in particular to farmers, saying that “immediate reinforcement and protection measures must be taken to keep them in the countryside and to produce. It is necessary to return the EFC to agricultural oil. To subsidize the compensation of the adjustment clause to withstand the crisis, together with targeted subsidies in animal feed and agricultural supplies “.
However, he also responded to the objections of his political opponents: “Because we ask for support measures for our citizens, they accuse us that our proposals lead to fiscal derailment. ND decided to give 5 billion euros in direct assignments and in closed tenders. Decided to get the 1 billion euros of the 13th pension but also additional resources to privatize insurance. They can not talk about de la carte derailment. They do not have the political will to support the society, the worker, the farmer, because they have the political will to make a deal with the big interests. “They have the political will to support the elite, they have the political will to give money to the golden boys and to those who invade the state.”
Closing his statement, Mr. Tsipras said that “there is another way that is the only one that can reverse the social catastrophe and goes through resistance, struggle, claim and popular verdict. Because democracy has no dead ends. We call for elections for a progressive government that will care about supporting society, the rural world and cutting the umbilical cord of the entanglement of political power with economic interests. “
A discussion followed with the residents who conveyed to him the difficulties they face through the unprecedented situations that have been created due to the accuracy. They expressed their fears to him, as the increase in costs undermines the production possibilities and deforests the region.
