The Parliamentary group of SYRIZA-PS submits an amendment for its abolition “an anachronistic and punitive burial tax that excessively burdens the municipalities of the whole country and leads them to bankruptcy, and restores the circular economy levy”says the secretary of the party’s Executive Committee, Dionysis Kalamatianos, in a statement.

As he explains: “The SYRIZA-PS proposal provides incentives to Municipalities for the implementation of waste treatment and recycling projects. With our proposal, municipalities and citizens lighten up from the municipal fees depending on the progress of the implementation of the projects. In this way, the Municipalities are given an incentive and a significant relief to advance the circular economy units and to minimize the waste burial solution”.

“We invite the progressive parties of the opposition to support our proposal, a proposal with which the self-government had already agreed in 2019, which is based on a logic of providing incentives to the municipalities and which the resources are returned to the Municipalities through the Green Fund», concludes Mr. Kalamatian.
