For the extraordinary support measures The government announced yesterday, government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis spoke to SKAI, stressing that they are not “pre -election”. At the same time, he responded to opposition criticisms, and noted that the TIF will be announced by Prime Minister Taxation.

As Mr Marinakis initially said: “The government is returning to the citizens the money it finds. ELSTAT’s critical data on the surplus were announced yesterday. The 2025 budget was written on the basis of data and data. We learned yesterday as a government officially that what we finally calculated and did the budget has some money. “

‘The three meters announced yesterday have three features. The first is developmental. We give half of these money to development policy. Our policy is, because the money does not grow from somewhere the conditions in the economy must be created, which is why we give money to investment, which create jobs and reduce unemployment (…)

The second feature of the measures is that there is one consistency. The measure for rents still gives an incentive to declare the Really rents.

The third feature of the measures is how the word for dignity and returns in this country. Because now a retired, an uninsured elder, a disabled fellow, a fellow citizen living in rent, that with permanent characteristics, without the anxiety every year, that he will get a sum that I am not saying that he solves all the problems, but has a meaning, before Christmas.

According to the government spokesman‘The Measure for rents concerns 8 out of 10according to official data from the Ministry of Finance. And I wish we could find the ways to concern the rest. ”

For financial support, Mr. Marinakis said that “It is about 1.5 million pensioners. “

“Mitsotakis’ surpluses are not over -taxation”

Then responding to the fire launched by the opposition, referring to “tax release”, Mr Marinakis said:

“The opposition says,” but Kyriakos Mitsotakis as the leader of the opposition was saying the opposite. ” But he does exactly the opposite. Mitsotakis surpluses are not from over -taxation. Kyriakos Mitsotakis has not increased a single tax. SYRIZA surpluses were over -taxation. The government has reduced or abolished 72 direct and indirect taxes. 23 VAT has been reduced. ”

“Taxation at the center of the TIF announcements”

As Mr. Marinakis pointed out: ‘The focus of Announcements at the upcoming TIF will be further taxationmainly for the freelancers and the people who are over by the income criteria of yesterday’s announcements. Why at TIF and why not yesterday? Yesterday’s announcements were the result of a emergencysome additional money and there were no announcements about an entire tax year, such as TIF announcements. What they say that Mitsotakis used to say others and does others, are absolutely falsewhy Mitsotakis saw the SYRIZA government to over -taxation And to put taxes and do the opposite, it reduces taxes. Mitsotakis government surpluses are the result of two factors. The first is the treatment of tax evasion and the second is growth.

From official data it seems that our country is one of the countries where are growing faster from the rest of Europe.
Yes, tax revenue has increased, they can increase by reducing tax rates. Because when there is growth in the economy, you can make more as a state. What the opposition says that we have increased taxes beyond the limits of political fraud. “

‘We respond to the housing problem with a number of interventions’

Talking about housing policyMr. Marinakis pointed out that ‘The government has a housing policy that exceeds 6 billion euroshas over 40 interventions to tackle the housing crisis. Yes, it has a value for renting rent to 8 people 10 but it’s not just that. Most measures we have taken are no income criteriasuch as the Reduction of ENFIA, the nihilism of the tax on parental benefits, my home 1 program and my home 2 with enlarged income criteria and we are also proceeding with social housing programs. We also have increased the allowance for students and rent allowance. We respond to the housing problem with a series of interventions. ”

For pensioners, the government spokesman noted that “We have made a decision that the above money the state makes, without putting more taxes, to return to those who have been more wrong in previous years. “while also analyzing the measures the government has taken for retirees.

“The measures are not pre -election – Elections will be held in 2027”

“You don’t remember the world pre -election, if you remember him in the pre -election, then you instill him.” and noted that “Elections will be held in 2027.”

‘Every so often this government is proceeding to some targeted but permanent measureslistening to the needs of society. This does not do it for six months or a year before the election. Elections are the final judgment of the citizens, for what you did and what you do. There is no pre -election issue »; The government spokesman stressed.
