“Precision is now taking on the dimensions of a social crisis. As incomes shrink and debts rise, as energy, electricity, gas bills multiply, shopkeepers’ turnover drops dramatically, we will be in danger of facing a social crisis that may even be overcome. the difficult moments of the first memorandum years “.
This was stressed by Alexis Tsipras in his statements after his tour in the market of Kalamatawhere he had the opportunity to discuss with consumers, workers and shopkeepers the market situation, the “explosive dimensions” of accuracy in both energy and fuel and all products and the “dramatic reduction” of income and their purchasing power.
The president of SYRIZA-PS claimed that “For the last eight months the government of Mr. Mitsotakis is actually observing the phenomenon” and that “not only did he not have the ability to predict what was coming, but he pretended to be the traffic warden of the cartels.” He stressed that “the high energy prices are largely due to the scandalous profits of power companies, providers”, to note that “about 30% of the increases are converted into their own profits.” “It simply came to our notice then. It was her political choice not to conflict with interests. “Even today it continues to be her political choice,” he stressed.
Mr. Tsipras asked the question: “instead of Mr. Mitsotakis to send letters to the European Union, supposedly wanting to regulate the context of the European and international market, why does it not take the decision to implement here measures that regulate the context of the domestic energy market? ». Specifically, he asked: why does he not put a ceiling, as other European countries have done, on the price of energy in the tariff that the consumer receives? Why not reduce the excise duty on fuel to the minimum levels provided for by the Commission? Why not reduce VAT directly on basic necessities? Why not immediately increase the minimum wage to 800 euros, as we have proposed?
“The answer is because he does not care to support society. “Only to find excuses”, he commented, to emphasize that “at this time, however, the country does not need a government of excuses, it needs a government of responsibility, the responsibility to protect society from this unprecedented crisis, part of which is its responsibility of the Mitsotakis government in the last eight months “. In this context, Mr. Tsipras noted that “recourse to the popular verdict is the only way out to take the responsibility to put society back on its feet, which is in danger of a new looting.”
