As the Prime Minister stressed, fortunately for the Greeks, unfortunately for SYRIZA, we are applying a political reversal from the tax effect that he applied. “The sensible reduction in tax rates and contributions not only expands income, especially for the middle class, but also triggers employment and growth with permanent jobs that bring back many young people from abroad who have left in your day,” she said. official opposition.
