Citizens know that “the government is exchanging their financial bleeding with crumbs,” commented PASOK Change Press spokesman Kostas Tsoukalasnoting that the $ 1.2 billion overrun for the primary surplus in January -July “came from tax -against middle class and popular strata”.

In detail, Mr Tsoukalas said in a statement that “the prime minister is celebrating the $ 1.2 billion in the primary surplus in January -July. A surplus that stemmed from the tax -on -the -line taxation and the popular strata through indirect and direct taxation. “

He adds that “in the four-year period 2020-2024, tax burdens increased five times more than the nominal increase in wages and pensions. Mitsotakis surpluses are missing money from the market. This year the Greek tourism experienced this year. ” He argues that “this is why his festivities are out of place and time both in terms of the needs of society and the impasses of his policy.”

“As for his aversion that ‘we have an economy that produces benefits, returned to society’,” commented Mr Tsoukalas, “directly underestimates the intelligence of the citizens, who know that the government is exchanging their financial bleeding with crumbs.”
