“We are taking measures late and ND has not done anything for so many months and is coming today it has taken measures 1.1 billion” said the president of KINAL Nikos Androulakis in SKAI TV and the show “Today” for government measures against accuracy.
As he explained, the energy crisis preceded the war and the war exacerbates the problems.
He stressed that “compared to other European countries, they have taken the least, they are measures that can not really help the weak and Greek households.”
“Did the prime minister have a money tree a year ago with the pandemic that boasted that it had a fiscal expansion of 43 billion in the fourth world and after a year it disappeared?”, Asked Mr. Androulakis, adding that “what is Mr. Mitsotakis doing? When they try it, one day the money tree dries up, the other again … »
Referring to the 1.1 billion support package, the president of KINAL spoke of state speculation against the Greek people due to inflation. “It has nothing to do with the investment grade,” he added.
“If you calculate the revenues from VAT and the remaining taxes that increased due to inflation, it is more than one billion for the two months of November-December alone.”
He reiterated that the measures are needed but are few compared to the rest with European countries. He added that measures should be taken, such as the reduction of ENFIA but not as Mr. Mitsotakis reduces it because as he clarified it does not reduce it progressively
On whether his party will vote for the new measures in Parliament, he replied that “We will support any measures they give if the weakest have room to have coverage”
He also referred to KINAL’s proposals, which include a ceiling in the adjustment clause, taxation of super-profitable generators, reduction of VAT on basic consumer goods, reduction of VAT on fuel, increase of minimum wage and a new EKAS for low-income retirees.
Commenting on the meeting between the Greek Prime Minister and the Turkish President, Mr. Androulakis stated that with Turkey nothing substantial is going to change unless there is a single national and European strategy.
According to him, there was a positive step in terms of de-escalation of tension, but we should not be complacent.
As Erdogan explained, he is taking advantage of the crisis in Ukraine and turning to the West to normalize its relations, which, as he said, is good for us “as long as it acquires content”.
Mr. Androulakis stressed that Greece should take advantage of the time to find a comprehensive solution to the Cyprus problem and our issues.
“Mr. Erdogan should understand that if he ever thinks of raising the issue of the violation of the sovereign rights of an EU country, he will be treated in the same way as Russia,” he said.
Referring to the war in Ukraine, he condemned the Russian invasion and described Vladimir Putin as an authoritarian leader. “Europe is bad at talking to leaders like Putin and Erdogan. They have other moral contexts “
And he warned that Putin had opened a “wound” that would soon be closed.
Asked about the internal parties, Mr. Androulakis said: “We have this Sunday Central Committee and we will make our report” he said about the first 100 days in the leadership of KINAL. We continue with unity, our political autonomy and renewal. There is an effort to bring out new executives, reliable with knowledge. To make people understand that our program can be realized. We can become a government force again. “We are starting our self-organization,” he pointed out.
For renewal on the ballots noted with meaning that “experience is useful but we must look ahead”.
“We want to have a strong mandate from the Greek people so that we can, from the first week of the analog, set our own terms. We will respect the popular verdict. The Prime Minister said from the floor of Parliament he is not looking at the first elections, but only the second. “I respect the elections and I will fight hard for our Partaxi to have a very large percentage and to be a government force with a social democratic program,” he added.
Regarding the debts of PASOK, he stressed that everything will be settled until the conference that will take place as he said in May, “even the unregulated”.
“I do not have the exact picture, I know more or less” how much it is, he continued, answering a relevant question and adding with emphasis that “we will be pressured but I consider it important. “I do not want this issue to enter the public debate,” he concluded.
