On his radio SKAI 100.3 and Vasilis Chiotis and Noti Papadopoulos hosted the government spokesman, Pavlos Marinakiswho was extensively mentioned in the issues of power cable that will unite Greece and Cyprusthe Prime Minister’s announcements to TIFfor young people, pensioners and old men, but also other issues that concern public opinion and central political scene:
For the cable he emphasized that it is obvious that the project must be divided on an economic level:
“It is a very important project for the electricity of Cyprus and a project important for us and for Europe. We support it, we want to be done, but it has a dimension we cannot underestimate, which is the division of weights at the economic level. It is obvious that a project so important to Cyprus can not only be paid by the Greek taxpayer. We are more than friendly countries, we have a complete identification of national interests. Cyprus is a brotherly state. In general, information is needed and calm. Especially when these issues go beyond decisions in our country. There are also decisions in Cyprus“
For the announcements of Kyriakou Mitsotakis at TIF:
“What the prime minister announced I do not think is a simple package of measures is – unlike that we have heard for many years in Greece – a total tax reform, a brave intervention that, in order to avoid illusions, will not make anyone from one day to another. So it is not to celebrate and say if after this package of measures everything was resolved, nor is it to reset them. I will agree that they are positive measures. The measures we heard were neither the first and especially at the taxation level, the 72 taxes we said by Fridays have become 80 that have been reduced or abolished on that government, nor will they be the last. As long as the country continues from tackling tax evasion and the growth of the economy, namely job creation and GDP growth, it will continue to reduce taxes. Once the year we will hear this or it may be earlier. In November before the budget is voted on, the world will see both the rent back and the 250 euros“
For young, old and retired young peopleWell, the government spokesman noted:
“As for the youth, I wish we could find resources and to strengthen the generation of triad. For older children, indeed a family with two and much more with three and much more with four children will benefit more. In fact, the government has chosen to send a message that every decision would now go through the criterion of the demographic crisis, that is, there will be what we call an informal inclusion of this very basic dimension. The government for a child born gives mom and a place goes to the father about 10,000 euros. We start from the basics beyond the tax breaks we have now received, wage increases, because it gives about 10,000 euros. It also gives the 2,400 which are increased by children who are the birth allowance and gives the minimum wage for nine months. All this is 9 by 880 plus 2,400, about 10,000 euros we reach 10,000 euros if it is the second or third child.
But even for retirees, we have three meters that concern them, some of the three, the most two to three.
Of the three is the 250 which is permanent, that is, it is not a allowance from the electoral road allowance is a permanent revenue that we maintain each year with the income criteria we have set, it concerns a large part of their majority.
The second is the two -year -old personal difference, 50% for 2026 and 100% complete abolition for 2027.
And the third is the reduction in income tax which is for all stages with the exception of the tax free threshold where they will have fewer bookings respectively so they will see – this is most – one from a small as significant increase respectively and retirees“
He also referred to the uniforms and in general to some measures concerning all taxpayers: “Finally, we also have the measures directly related to the uniforms as we have announced them and no one and the payroll of civil servants will be excluded. We choose direct taxes, income tax and everything else we did, ENFIA etc, because we are sure that people will see the benefit in this. This choice is not because we have a dogmatism against VAT, it is because in the case of direct taxes we know it will reach the world“
Pavlos Marinakis subsequently underlined that the government will continue to defend foreign policy And that very important steps have been taken for the country that had not been made for many years.
He also referred to three major political executives, Antonis Samaras, Alexis Tsipras and Nikos Androulakis:
“For Mr. Samaras it was a development that no one wanted, he did not seek it, but in any case when a policy that grows the country because things have not been done for decades, you have to defend it, you defend it. This does not mean that you are looking for an evolution. I do not know any approach, I live in the prime minister’s response and this answer I think says everything.
To say that the prime minister did not attack Mr. Tsipras, accepted a question and answered politically on the basis of reality. We do not have a front by any means and we must not have and is not a matter of the means, we have a front with the falsification of truth, because when you do not highlight reality and what has happened in recent history you are doomed to live it again. Enemy at this time the government politically in order not to be misunderstood is neither Mr Tsipras nor Mr. Androulakis, enemy is the evil of the self whom we have to constantly see to change him“
Finally, he also referred to the OPECEPE scandal and the Inquiry Committee:
“For the exam we have said that our goal is in the share that is attributable to us after many years finally an examination to stand up to the circumstances, because it is the only way for a wound of at least 30 years that have cost three billion in the country only by fines, to heal, and the only way to heal. We have already seen the first results and find out the answers to many because with many extensions and if the examination also identifies criminal investigations we will have the courage to do other procedures and obviously judge for this“
