Nikos Androulakis: Priority is the increase of the minimum wage to 751 euros

by

The president of PASOK-Movement for Change had a meeting with the administration of GSEE, Nikos Androulakis.

“The increase of the minimum wage to 751 euros is a non-fiscal, but socially development measure, which we consider a priority especially in this time of increased social inequalities,” said Mr. Androulakis, opening the discussion with the GSEE administration.

The president of PASOK-Movement for Change expressed impatience to the government to proceed with the implementation of measures, which have formed a safety net for the citizens in the European countries that have already adopted them.

“This is the ceiling in the adjustment clause, so that we do not have this rapid increase in energy costs and of course the over-taxation of the super-profits of energy producers, who according to the European Commission across Europe, if nothing is changed the current state of speculation that exists, will have 200 billion euros more revenue from this energy crisis, which in essence is paid by the consumer, “said Mr. Androulakis, emphasizing the fair distribution of weight and the energy producer and the citizen and in the State.

The position of Mr. Androulakis in detail:

“I want to thank GSEE very much, which makes us honored to be here today at a very critical time for the employees.

After 10 years of fiscal adventure, the pandemic and the energy crisis have greatly burdened the worker, households and especially the most vulnerable.

That is why we have stood by you, especially in the very crucial non-budgetary but socially development measure of raising the minimum wage to 751 euros. We consider it a priority especially at a time when the rise of social inequalities is galloping.

At the same time, we have put in place a framework for the energy crisis with measures that have been implemented in other countries and have created a security grid, but the New Democracy government is weak and shows reluctance to implement them. This is the ceiling in the adjustment clause, so that we do not have this rapid increase in energy costs and of course the over-taxation of the super-profits of energy producers, who according to the European Commission, throughout Europe, if nothing is changed the current state of speculation, they will have 200 billion euros more revenue than this energy crisis, which is essentially being paid by the consumer.

So what do we seek? There should be a fair distribution of the burden to both the energy producer and the citizen and the state. Not for the citizen to lift everything on his back.

“Again, I would like to thank you and it will be my pleasure, President, to tell us your opinion on the bill for OAED, because it will be discussed and we want to have a cooperation in the way we will take a position”.
