“Once again, the prime minister of excuse, appeared with a sermon to abdicate any responsibility for the social crisis”, underlines SYRIZA-PS in its announcement regarding the support measures that were announced today.
“Attributing the problem of explosive accuracy exclusively to exogenous factors and the war in Ukraine, he tried to convince the citizens that the wave of accuracy that has been sweeping them since the summer, has appeared only in the last three weeks. In other words, to convince them that they do not spend the winter in icy apartments, that they have not been able to cover bills and basic needs for months. “All this for Mr. Mitsotakis, the citizens have not been living for a long time, but they are imagining it”, the official opposition notes.
Continuing, SYRIZA-PS accuses the Prime Minister that “once again he completely covered the cartels and the super profits of the energy producers, he did not say a word about imposing a ceiling either on their profits or on the electricity and gas bills that the citizens pay”. “Faithful to the pattern of self-admiration, he praised himself for his letter to the EU when inside the country he rules he has not taken the basic measures,” he added.
“Even now, what he has announced is nothing more than a repetition of the profiteering subsidy for the huge increases in energy, an insufficient subsidy to cover a small part of the increase in petrol for a quarter and an allowance that can not cover in the slightest the loss of purchasing power of citizens. “All this at a time when he, especially for the low-income pensioners, cut the permanent additional pension that SYRIZA had introduced, with a total amount of 900 million”, he states, adding that “he even dared to talk about salaries, with acting sensitivity, when by his own choice the minimum wage remains stuck for three years, at the same time dissolving even the most basic rights in the labor market “.
“Mr. Mitsotakis made the speech to justify the non-taking of substantial measures. He even went so far as to admit it, talking about measures – crumbs, pretending that he allegedly listens in advance to the reaction of the opposition. “Of course, he cited as another excuse the need for prudent fiscal policy, which he certainly forgets when it comes to distributing billions in direct assignments and closed tenders, in tax cuts for the few and powerful, but he remembers it when it comes to taking action for society.” , comments and concludes:
“Society no longer tolerates ridicule. The measures that should have been taken months ago are:
– Reduction of VAT on fuel
– Ceiling in electricity and gas tariffs
– Stroke of scandal
– Reduction of VAT on basic necessities
“Increase of the minimum wage to 800 euros”.
