“Energy companies’ super profits must be taxed and redistributed to consumers,” he said. the Secretary of the Central Committee of SYRIZA-PS. Dimitris Tzanakopoulos, speaking in the show “Unmatched” on SKAI.
In fact, he directly accused that “Mr. Mitsotakis was nine months late to take measures, while we have been saying since September that the problem of accuracy will be explosive”.
“Now he suddenly discovered money”he joked, and regarding the measures of 2.5 billion euros that the government is expected to announce commented: “So far the prime minister has told us that he has given 4 billion euros to be precise.

And so we have bills up to 3,000 euros that can not be paid. It is so simple!”.

Tzanakopoulos stressed the need “to send a political message on May 15”, and “to strengthen SYRIZA-PS through a celebration of democracy unprecedented and pioneering, as we vote not only for president but also for Central Committee, and this process is the key against the battle in ND and K.
