“All the proposals which are included in program of SYRIZA-PS which is constantly updated, are costed and answers have already been given,” said the party’s representative, Voula Kehagiaspeaking to Real Fm.

He said, among other things, that the SYRIZA program “provides for a reduction of the ENFIA, but the very large real estates will be taxed.” “Dividends will be taxed, which are taxed at a rate of 5%, while a family income of 30,000 euros is taxed at a very high rate. There will be one-time overtaxation of banks’ profits, extraordinary taxation, at the rate of 90%, and also taxation of refineries and their revenues,” he said.

In relation to the VAT, he noted that SYRIZA has been proposing to the government all this time to reduce it and that “many European countries have implemented it with complete success and it is also a direction of the European Union from April 2022”. “From VAT and indirect taxes, the government had in 2022 and 2023 an overperformance in taxes, excess tax revenue, of the order of 4 billion euros,” he pointed out.

When asked about a publication of the “Free Press” and the unemployment benefit, she emphasized that “there is no such thing recorded in the program, for the abolition of the unemployment benefit”.
