Full announcement:
“The announcement of the annual inflation for the month of March by ELSTAT, in the amount of 8.9%, confirms statistically that the problem of accuracy is growing with an ever-increasing impact on household budgets and a serious impact on the performance of the Greek economy. as provided by the relevant macroeconomic scenarios of the report of the Governor of the Bank of Greece for the year 2021.
The fact that the corresponding harmonized price index for March, used for comparison with other European countries, as announced by Eurostat, was 7.5% and for the third consecutive month higher than that of the Eurozone as a whole and the fact that the monthly increase was the third highest in the Eurozone further demonstrate that difficulties follow.
The government dealt with the accuracy crisis first with ostriches and then with half measures.
Its ministers, in the first months of rising inflation, in mid-2021 and long before the invasion of Ukraine, claimed that it was imported and temporary, to justify their inaction.
Then they began to compare the problem with that of the Eurozone, implying that the problem in Greece is negligible. And now that domestic inflation seems to have outpaced the Eurozone and is running at an ever-increasing rate, Mr. Georgiadis has invented a trick, unspeakable for economics and common sense, in an attempt to offset his explosive rise with negative inflation. months of 2021.
The government, while choosing to permanently exempt large real estate owners, abolishing the supplementary ENFIA and the donation tax of up to 800,000 euros, is applying temporary aspirin measures and has dragged itself behind other European governments to announce the corporate taxation of big energy companies but and the reopening of lignite production in order to reduce the unbearable energy costs for households and businesses, justifying the criticism and the proposals of the Movement for Change.
Much sooner than the government believes, it will be dragged again to adopt the proposals of the Movement for Change:
– Reduction of VAT on basic consumer goods.
– Reduction of the Excise Tax on fuel.
– Introduction of a ceiling in the adjustment clause in the electricity bills.
– Increase of the minimum wage to 751 euros, which will have a positive effect on unemployment benefits.
– A new form of EKAS for low-income retirees.
Otherwise, she will pay very dearly for the price of her innocence “.
