“The President of SYRIZA Progressive Alliance spoke about” great deception “and” the biggest mockery that the pensioners have faced in the post-colonial period, personally by Mr. Mitsotakis “. Alexis Tsipras, in the meeting he had with the Bureau of the United Network of Pensioners, on the occasion of the measures announced the day before yesterday by the Prime Minister. At the same time, Mr. Tsipras pledged to “repeal the law on the privatization of supplementary insurance and return almost 1.5 billion euros to retirees.”
“Here we are in a mockery that the retiree has never seen before,” said Mr. Tsipras, emphasizing that “the mockery that the average retiree has personally seen from Mr. Mitsotakis in the last three years has never been seen in the place by change of government and after “.
Regarding Extraordinary Easter allowance 200 euros announced, the President of SYRIZA reminded that “the same man who said crumbs of 1 billion. euros for the 13th pension, which we instituted for each year, not only abolishes it but also gives it to the privatization of the supplementary insurance “. He added that “if we add up ’20, ’21 and ’22 that this amount was not given, it is close to three billion. euros “to conclude that” while he has robbed 3 billion of retirees he comes today and gives 135 million euros, only to 27% of retirees. “If this is not deception then what is?”
On the occasion of the attitude that Mr. Mitsotakis had taken in the negotiations of the SYRIZA government with the troika and the IMF, which “demanded not just cuts but a knife in pensions, proposals that we opposed because we had good management of public finances”, he reminded that Mr. Mitsotakis was telling me in Parliament that I was exchanging a national issue with pensions. “And this man is talking about populism today.”
A second point of “deception” of retirees, according to what the leader of the official opposition said, has to do with the outstanding pensions. “When we received 360,000 outstanding pensions and reached 107,000, we accepted the criticism that there are still 107,000 outstanding pensions. And Mr. Vroutsis came out and said that in a month the pension will come out automatically “, he noted characteristically, emphasizing that” three years have passed and the 107,000 that we handed over have become 340,000 again “.
In fact, he spoke of “incompetence” and “ideological obsession”, stigmatizing the fact that the government, after dismantling the whole mechanism we had with 600 young scientists for the issuance of pensions, put 485 lawyers who in 4 months have managed to get “50 pensions, of which 38 came back because it was wrong.”
At the same time, Mr. Tsipras spoke of “blue armies golden boys, an option that clearly shows the government’s strategy for partisanship of the state.” “256 senior executives in EFKA, transferred without ASEP procedures and I wonder what the European institutions say?” he asked and underlined: “We do not want the state to be the servant of the party, not even with the party bourdoulas. Nor should public money go to such expediencies. “Because there is no salary of 8,000 euros a month that they go to please their own people today.” In this context, he stated that “the golden boys in EFKA will be abolished because EFKA must serve the interests of retirees and society and not the selfish party goals”.
The third field of “deception” has to do with retrospectives, after the relevant decision of the Council of State “for a theft that took place again under the SW government in the years of the memoranda”. Mr. Tsipras stressed that “instead of implementing the decision as the CoE says, it applies it only for high pensions and not for gifts and allowances. Low-income retirees are virtually excluded. And these people who get what they deserved, he comes now and says tax them. Give us back. ”
In this context, the President of SYRIZA PS stressed that “our main commitment is that we will repeal the law on the privatization of supplementary insurance and this 1.5 billion that goes to privatization will be returned to retirees”, noting that “the retirees today, and even if they were not, support people who are in toil and production. “Because a young couple or even a household can not cope with the accuracy that has exceeded all limits.”
For his part, the President of the Unified Network of Pensioners, Nikos Hatzopoulos, spoke about the exclusive responsibility of Mr. Mitsotakis for the explosion of accuracy and the reduction of the income of the pensioners.
“Hatzidakis dissolved PPC, Olympiaki, he now came to dissolve, privatize and public social security” he noted and stressed that it is not the responsibility of the ministers since “Mr. Mitsotakis has the sole responsibility. He is a pensioner with 540 euros per month and PPC received 500 euros, a pension for PPC “.
The president of ENDISY requested the intervention of the president of SYRIZA PS in the issues of the pensioners who face a series of decisions of the current government and mainly from the incomes that the pensioners lost from the abolition of the 13th pension.
“When in May 2019 you voted for the 13th pension, where we got 1.1 billion euros, the same one who was in opposition voted for them and said crumbs and then came and abolished them. So 3 years owe us 3.3 billion euros only from the 13th pension “said the president of ENDISY, noting at the same time that” we believe the change of policy can only be done by you “.
At this point he mentioned the dialogue they had recently with the Minister of Finance, Ch. Staikouras, when he told them that the 13th pension was voted for a year. “And then I showed him the law and I told him and you voted for it and he told me you are right. And then I said to him: “Why do you keep lying?”
