“The examination is called upon to be lifted to the circumstances contrary to what has happened. Unfortunately, in all the examinations I remember, the opposition tried to partition them by making their own finding. This examination is of great value because it is the only way to illuminate aspects of a wound that has cost nearly 3 billion euros in the country at a depth of 30 years. “ Government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis said in an interview with ANT1.

“Zero -period – exception – that is, they must all be investigated. I don’t even exclude us, our own period »he stressed.

Also said that ‘Objectives existed, exist and will exist. And for this particular case, as for all others, the presumption of innocence applies … There are offenders who, if they prove to have done something illegal at the end of the day, may belong to a political space, they may have a property, they may have the any profession. What has changed in the days of Kyriakos Mitsotakis and I am referring to Circuits in Tax Officesto prisonsto municipal policeto illegal prescriptiona number of major criminal organizations that have been revealed is that those who seem to have done something illegal are led to justice. There is no doubt that OPECEPE’s issue, as the prime minister admitted, while we were the First we got a series of initiativeswe sent people to justice, we had to do a lot more, which are now being done. The stolen ones are returned back, No “they will come back”, OPECEPE is starting and going back to AADE. “

In answering a question, he explained that “There is a confusion, I do not know if it is deliberate from the opposition, I will not consider this- for some fines and what all this money is. First of all 400 million do not refer to amounts that some have received. Is a one administrative fine It has to do with manipulations that Europe has judged, as it has done in the past with the other $ 3 billion that has been charged in the country in the last 30 years, that they should not be done by describing some – obviously – not acceptable behaviors. It does not mean that all of the offenders, that is, those who received more than they should have or should not collect at all and received, the amount is 400 million. It’s two different things. “Bring back the stolen” that the world is asking for and we do it- it goes without saying it is not to celebrate, alas, it should have been done much earlier, I will say- it is linked to the amounts that some have not had to take. These amounts, in fact, after being followed by a total procedure under the law, a certificate of collection, confiscation of property, etc., in fact go to real farmers, breeders, to those who are entitled to them. “

Added that ‘There are and direct receiptswhich are done, and confiscationsDepending on the case, as well as the fines we say about DIMEA and super -market, depending on whether one accepts and pays it straight. It is a number of procedures that are followed. And all these procedures also have ancillary to justice. One thing is the amount to be searched and collected, another thing is whether this implies further criminal liability. ” And that “certainly, in the days of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, no matter what party you belong to, what is your property, if you are in the middle class, if you are under the middle class, if you are in the middle of the middle class, if you are justice, if you are justice, circuits with services that did not exist, investigations proceed“

About Package of measures announced by Mr. Androulakis, Government Representative pointed out: “Is it possible for the leader of the opposition, who is also calling for elections, so what the theoretically, always theoretical, could be a government program, not to say a number? Why, this question, the reasonable question, that many of you have raised before me and the government to be, for example, “a fierce attack on PASOK”? No fierce attack is a reasonable question. We all go and announce some things. The prime minister, who for me is more valuable, announced a tax reform of $ 1.76 billion that costs so much. We have these to give and give them as we give them. That is, a young man can save up to 2,500 euros, a freelancer up to 30 years old. In a couple, each parent can escape, if they have two children, from 1,000 euros a year. Civil servants will get increases due to taxation. We said some things. Correctly; Sufficient? Inadequate? We will be evaluated. We said what we will do, we will do it, as in previous years, and we said how much it cost. Why did we say how much it cost? Because this was the margin, according to the European Commission and the expenditure ceilings we could give. Don’t we, moreover, want to pay the 13th salary if we could? And to reduce VAT and everything? Obviously, in principle, we, if we had the money, would like to give it. So, the first is that we all agree, that all this is fine if they could be done. “

He also emphasized at this point that “So he chooses not to cost his program to” fish “from everywhere. It’s very simple because it doesn’t do it and I say it again, it’s a number. “

Following reporters from reporters, Mr. Marinakis added: “Let us agree that all these measures, the reduction of VAT, I say again, the 13th salary, the 13th pension, in principle, there is no politician in this country or a citizen or journalist, that is, overall, that they do not want. Why can we now, we could last year, some more, some more? Because only more people wait for citizens. Because we have an economic policy, it is a circle of economic policy, which brings revenue to the country, which is denounced by the opposition, calling for measures. How does this revenue bring them? By creating jobs, half a million of our fellow citizens were unemployed, so they were paid by the state with the unemployment benefit and now pay for the state where they found work, taxes and contributions reduced. So they pay, so the state increases its revenue. Second of the official data of the General Accounting Office, the state’s revenue, increased revenue is a large majority of three sources: the growth of the economy. GDP grows, investments, have gone from almost 20 to 40 billion, so more money in the country. The jobs created and the treatment of tax evasion. So, the proceeds that the economic and total policy of the government, the digital state, the tax reduction, the investment, have been created, the opposition is reported, it says “bloody” surpluses, but not a single tax has increased, we have reduced or deducted 83. So, since they denounce this revenue, they say “give them” and “give more”. Where will we give them from the moment you do not want this policy, revenue growth. “

He stressed that: ‘Certainly PASOK in one of the two points, to answer for VAT, he says lies. In one of the two points. Or it does not mean what it is doing, that is, it says it to become pleasant, as unfortunately, many parties in the past have done, and that is why our country, with the responsibility of the political system as a whole, has reached where many young people have gone abroad. Or he doesn’t say where he will finance them. That is, what taxes will it raise to implement the measures it has announced. “

Especially in terms of Reduction of VATMr. Marinakis stressed that this government has reduce and indirect taxes. “Because it is important to say what you have done first, VAT has reduced many. Do we want to reduce others? Obviously we want. Why did we prefer, but – why was the money specific – to reduce direct taxes, that is, the tax that we pay for all of us who work and retirees? Because so we were sure that this would reach every citizen. Why do we say that? Because we know that when a tax is reduced to an employee, the salary will be raised. When a tax is reduced to a freelancer, he will pay less tax. Indirect taxes have shown the story, the recent, in Europe, their reduction, and in principle it is correct, it does not reach the consumer. “

Added that VAT indeed is the most unjust taxbecause it is the same for everyone and reacted that its decrease is the same for everyone. “That is, if you reduce VAT, you will not get into the supermarket and give their clearance. It will benefit the same one who is forced and releases 10,000 a year and will benefit – and more maybe, because he will get a larger basket – one who makes 100,000 and 150,000. So, at the beginning we agree on tax cuts as a whole. When we have to choose, however, because the money is specific, we choose direct taxes. “
