An attack on Akis Schertsos, whom SYRIZA accuses of “serving cooked graphs”
Although “it has a 2.4 billion euro surplus in the first quarter of 2024, the government does not cut a single tax,” he says in a statement SYRIZA-PS.
More specifically, the announcement of the official opposition party states: “According to Eurostat, Greece was, for 2023, the most expensive country in the EU. in dairy products, namely milk, cheese and eggs (38% above the Community average). In the oils-fats category, it was the fourth most expensive country (26.3% above the EU average), while we also paid more for bread.
The Mitsotakis government does not want to reduce indirect taxes. In order not to increase consumption, says Mr. Hatzidakis. To continue eating frugally, he will mean. And we are talking about the government that keeps the reduced VAT on coffee “in hand”, as a successful measure, but finds the reduction/zero VAT on cheese, milk, meat meaningless and possibly ineffective.
We are talking about the government that has a 2.4 billion euro surplus in the first quarter of 2024, but does not cut a single tax.”
SYRIZA-PS adds the following postscript to its announcement: “Mr. Skertsos can serve cooked graphs, but what he prepared is not… edible. We understand that he wants to get down to “how much should this Kyriakos give us too?”, but let him retract his post, in which, among other things, he deliberately calculates Spain’s inflation (and compares it to Greece’s inflation), including in calculation and the period before the Spanish government took measures to reduce VAT there. They are playing with the livelihood of the Greeks, don’t play with our intelligence.”
