With a new post the Minister of State, Akis Skrtsosreturns to the issue of the summer holidays of the Greeks, but also to his confrontation with the PASOKby bringing to the forefront of her Eurostat.
As he notes, “last week PASOK attempted a statistical and political poaching by citing Eurostat’s Perception Index that compares the inability of European citizens to make a holiday week a week. In a previous note we presented her specific timeless research ELSTATfor Greeks who travel for leisure reasons, who escaped PASOK’s attention and has been documented the increase of> 800,000 citizens since 2015 and by> 400,000 citizens from 2019 who can now make trips for personal reasons. “
Mr Skertsos continues his post with the attack on PASOK, citing Eurostat data on the Greek holidays: “If we go to see Eurostat’s survey, which is fragmented only by PASOK, we will reach the following 4 basic conclusions: They can) is the 2nd best recorded report for Greece in this particular survey conducted from 2003 until today.
The first best report in the 22 years of this survey is recorded for 2023 at 43.1%, also on the days of ND governance.
The relevant indicators before the current government’s duties for 2019 and 2015 were 49.2% and 53.7% respectively.
Finally, it is worth noting that these indicators were worse than today even before the debt crisis of our country, that is, from 2003 to 2010 when individual incomes were scoring their highest prices.
Final Conclusion: Can we celebrate when half less than half Greeks say they still can’t vacation? Under no circumstances. We work systematically so that this percentage is smaller every year on solid foundations of a healthy growth of the economy and not on borrowing. “
And, in the politician, “we can, however, and it is imposed on the gradual progress that has been made in the disposable income of households over time and not to falsify statistics for micro -political reasons and ultimately misleading citizens.
The way PASOK used Eurostat’s data is not responsible for the opposition, ”said Mr Skertsos, who quotes, quoting Eurostat’s research.
