The Press Office of SYRIZA-PS criticizes the Mitsotakis policy on the occasion of the Christmas baskets, stating that Kyriakos Mitsotakis decided “to appear generous and allegedly distribute gifts to children and families, but the reality he tries to hide is completely different ».

The announcement in detail:

A few days before Christmas, Mr. Mitsotakis decided to pretend to be generous and allegedly distribute gifts to children and families, through the well-known “baskets”. In this context, the prime minister did not fail to repeat the claim that his government has improved citizens’ salaries and reduced taxes.

The reality, which Mr. Mitsotakis, she is completely different. With the budget, which the Mitsotakis government brings for 2025, we will pay 2.5 billion. more taxes. In the first half of 2024, overtaxation reached 4 billion. euro. In addition, all the official indicators, whether from Eurostat or the OECD, show that in Greece we have a reduction in real wages. And inflation for 2024 is expected to approach 2.9%, i.e. above the Eurozone average.

Mr. Mitsotakis does everything he can to not let reality spoil his narrative. However, his attempt to impersonate Santa Claus is unconvincing. Households experience both inflation and the difficulty of meeting their obligations in their daily lives,
