A topical question to Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, for precision and private debt, was submitted to Parliament by PASOK President Nikos Androulakis.

As Mr. Androulakis points out, “Accuracy and debts drown in Greek society and the economy and according to ELSTAT data, by 2020 food prices have been ejected by 34.5%.”

Only in July 2025, compared to the corresponding month of 2024, a 19.3%increase in fruits, 18.9%in electricity and 11.3%in rents, and in August, housing price rates (10.9%), fruits (11.6%), chocolates (23.2%) and cafes (23.2%), adds:

“This is a dead -end situation for households who are struggling to meet their basic needs, and according to the recent inflation observatorial report, the Bank of Greece is making an adverse revision of its forecasts for the coming years at a significant level.”

“In addition, the new annual ELSTAT family budget survey of 2024 records an increase in average monthly expenditure, but it does not result from an equal increase in consumption, but due to values ​​in basic foods, such as flour oil, bread, cereals” Mr. Androulakis emphasizes.

At the same time, he argues that “The more vulnerable layers especially, they accept the greatest pressure than inflation“

“According to ELSTAT, always, for the poorest 20% of the population, the share of the average cost of food and housing is 55.9% of household spending.

The above data certifies what is a common consciousness in Greek society: how your government has become a sponsor of accuracy and you have turned inflation into a basic economic policy tool »points out and fills:

“The reality is relentless: Greek households paid 25 billion euros in VAT in 2024, compared to $ 12.9 billion in 2019. And all the time Greeks compete with Bulgaria for the last place in the EU purchasing power, while half of our fellow citizens say they have no opportunity to do a week.”

Mr. Androulakis after pointing out that “PASOK has fixed positions to combat precision, for the benefit of the most vulnerable and middle classes”suggests:

– Reduce and nihilization of VAT rates on basic products, strengthening the Competition Committee and DIMEA to carry out substantial market controls, strengthen the consumer movement and the creation of a consumer protection principle. “

Mr. Androulakis emphasizes and “In private debt that swells“, Stressing:

“Red” loans amount to $ 73 billion. The overdue debt to the DOU is $ 111.8 billion, with 4.6 million VAT IDs to have that amount. Only in the first four months of 2025, unpaid taxes exceeded 3 billion euros, while new debtors increased by 470,000. The arrears to social security bodies exceeded $ 49.3 billion, of which $ 32 billion relate to main debts, while the rest in surcharges. The ability to settle the debts in 24 installments did not provide any sustainable exit to the vast majority of debtors. The number of debtors’ registers are estimated at 2.2 million, with 90% of them owed up to 30,000 euros. Overall, the arrears to banks/funds and the State are over 234 billion at the end of 2024 when they were tolerated at 224 billion in the previous year.

THE out -of -court mechanismwhom the government presents as a solutionhe has paid little. Servicers surprise and blackmail debtors with complaints and auctioning, even at the time of the negotiations. Without protecting the main housing and without negotiating power, borrowers are led, under the threat of auctions, to arrangements that are not realistic based on their income. Based on the elements of the servicers, almost half of the settings in the early years “blush” again. “

“The policy of inactivity and tolerance in the speculation of funds leads to further enlargement of private debt, undermines the cohesion of society, undermines the country’s productive base and threatens the economy with Hellenism,” The PASOK president supports and concludes:

“Given that to date not only have you not adopted PASOK’s documented and fair proposals to deal with accuracy and private debt using small arguments, but have you refused any debate on them, you ask Mr Prime Minister?

– Take immediate and targeted measures to combat precision, such as reducing or nihilting VAT in basic goods and substantial strengthening of market controls to ensure the actual reduction in prices for the consumer or continue to choose the maintenance of “surpluses” The majority of society?

-Do it proceed with a realistic and sustainable arrangement of the arrears of households and businesses that are unable to repay them both to banks/funds, public and social security bodies? “
