“Accuracy has a direct relationship with the taxation reserved for them by the government”, stressed the president of Freedom of Navigation, Zoe Konstantopoulou, in the debate that has been going on since morning in the Parliament.

Zoe Konstantopoulou called on the prime minister and the government to reflect on the cost of living today, for families, students, workers.

“Mr. Mitsotakis, is it possible to say to the Greek Parliament and your Parliamentary Group, but above all to yourself and your conscience, is it possible to say that Greece is not a champion in accuracy?” And that reassures you? The concern is whether people can live, the concern is whether parents can get the necessary food for their children, and I assure you there are many families who are groaning. The concern is whether students can support their studies away from home, and I inform you that too many students are struggling, even working ones, the concern is whether teachers can meet the cost of their service, if any families who are faced with a rain of foreclosures for electronic auctions”, said the president of Plevsis Eleftherias and pointed out that today there is no family where a member does not worry about losing his house to the bank.

“The average citizen cannot meet the cost of living and this is because your economic policy has failed, Mr. Mitsotakis,” said the president of Pleysis Eleftherias and added that the economic policy drawn up by the government does not take citizens into account.

“Do you think seasonal firefighters can live on 800 euros for six months, 400 euros for three months and zero euros for another three months?” You have reserved this fate for them. At the same time you say and advertise that you will allocate more than 2 billion for civil protection. To whom; Where do you have them?” said Ms. Konstantopoulou and added that her party is the one that in December 2023 submitted a proposal for a law on the 13th and 14th salary.

At the same time that the government refuses to allocate 2.1 billion euros for civil servants (teachers, nurses, police officers, firefighters, employees), noted the president of Plefsis Eleftherias, it is the same government that is being investigated for the use of the funds of the Recovery Fund and for amounts much higher than 2.1 billion euros.

“The only thing you are interested in, Mr. Mitsotakis, is to secure funds that you will allocate to non-profit organizations and non-profit organizations, even if these have no impact on the lives of citizens,” said Mrs. Konstantopoulou and referred to the precedent with the railroad contracts and the 717 contract.

Referring to the Prime Minister’s letter to Mrs. von der Leyen, the president of Freedom of Navigation said, addressing Mr. Mitsotakis: “He is a political partner of yours, a partner in the pre-election period, with you at this time, and I am frankly impressed that what you had to do with regard to accuracy, was to tell Mrs. von der Leyen to take measures for accuracy. You attribute accuracy only to the profiteering and tricks of the multinationals. But the accuracy and what the citizen feels is directly related to the taxation that you reserve for the citizens, with the sociopathic tax bill that you brought, exhausting freelancers, merchants, self-employed people, whom you present as thieves, even though you are checked for financial crimes”.

Tempe

During her intervention, Zoe Konstantopoulou also referred to the criminal case file forwarded to the Parliament on Tempi and the role of justice.

“The case file that concerns criminal responsibilities of your government should also concern you, because it concerns very serious issues that were done by your order and participation. This case file is in the hands of the president of the Parliament, who does not grant copies to the deputies, we only try to refer to its content by photographing the copies. A case file from April 25 took 29 days to reach Parliament, because some people did not evaluate it and simply kept it. And your own ministers were just holding it until Parliament closed. We have seen this before,” said the president of Freedom of Navigation and added: “I call on you not to close the Parliament and given that such a serious case file was forwarded yesterday, let us all agree that there is a reason for the Parliament to continue functioning, because it does not it is possible that with this case file, in the office of the president of the Parliament, the Parliament is not in session. This is an act of transparency, this is an act of parsimony, this is an act of real availability, for control. Mrs. Karystianou invites you, with her letter, and also invites the president of the Republic, to take a position and take responsibility. Will you do it;”

The President of the Republic

A phrase of the prime minister about the government’s stay until 2027 was the reason for the attack launched by the president of Plefsis Eleftheria and on the face of the President of the Republic. “You told us that you will be a government until 2027. You have discounted the election of the President of the Republic for 2025. Do you all agree with some other party and we don’t know about it? Because we are not even going to consent to the election of Mrs. Sakellaropoulou. This is a person who negotiated her political promotion, by doing favors, from the position of the president of the CoE. This is a person completely unfit to exercise the duties of the President of the Republic. This is a person, moreover, who is currently campaigning for your government. And he tours, where you don’t have time to tour,” said Zoe Konstantopoulou.
