SYRIZA-PS launches an attack on the government for its energy policy and the price of electricity, on the occasion of the latest data from Eurostat in July, according to which, “Greece ranked third in the ranking of EU countries with the highest increase in the price of electricity».

“With an increase of 9.5%, Greece exceeded the Eurozone average (0.8%) by 11 times! In the same month, 10 countries showed a decrease in prices and 14 countries had a zero or negligible increase” SYRIZA states in the announcement and notes: “This is the plain truth about the supposedly “imported” energy precision, for which the government of Mr. Mitsotakis argues that he cannot do anything more than a subsidy of up to 8 euros and this for consumption in August».

Continuing the attack on the prime minister, he claims:Kyriakos Mitsotakis was talking a few months ago about electricity prices before the energy crisis, trying to reap the results of a situation that did not last long. He chose political petty deceptions instead of radical solutions. Solutions such as SYRIZA’s proposal for a ceiling on the profit rate of 5%. Instead we are experiencing a big profiteering party from the generation companies, who are making super profits based on the Greek distortion of the energy market and marginal pricing based on the price of the most expensive unit of natural gas. This means that even if 80% of the daily electricity is produced by RES at minimal cost, it will all be priced at the price given by the most expensive thermal unit, which also has the highest production costs. And it is precisely this system that the Mitsotakis government does not touch, preferring to “sell” temporary and short-range political servitude to those households whose electricity bill has become a nightmare».
