‘He keeps the income low and increases accuracy’
“The fact that the government has been constantly supplying the press with a paraphrase of tax reduction shows that the government’s narrative that had reduced taxes has collapsed. If the government had actually reduced taxes, we would not have the picture today. It turns out that he had over -taxed Greek citizens so far, “he said. Kostas Tsoukalasin view of the prime minister’s announcements to the TIF, speaking to the “Parapolitika FM 90.1”.
PASOK’s change spokeswoman commented that a days ago a study of a systemic credit institution “has shown that the government’s choices not to honor the tax scales and not touch them in the last many years were saved € 800 million by taxing around 2024.” “So it is confirmed by our criticism that this government has not only reduced taxation, but has increased taxation mainly by affecting the middle class and the popular strata,” he said. He paid the government that it does not intend to touch the unfair indirect taxation, although there are two European guidelines which essentially remain member states to reduce indirect tax rates, VAT. “It doesn’t,” he said, “because he thinks that he can continue to pursue a client and voting policy, taking many of the many and giving a little less, as he does so far.”
He emphasized that at the TIF, Nikos Androulakis will present the two central axes of the PASOK Change Machine’s proposal: “First, how can we create a serious, powerful state with transparency and accountability, which will put an end to the customer and the customer can do it. And, secondly, the welfare state and how we can support social policies for many. ” In particular, he said: “With support in the private sector, with the restoration of collective labor agreements where our country is a noodle today. In the public sector with the reinstatement of the thirteenth salary, to retirees with the abolition of personal difference, the increase in the reciprocity of the replacement factors, the reinstatement of the EKA and the gradual reduction of the solidarity levy of pensioners. Intervened in the big broadcast of private debt that currently drowns households and businesses. And with the support of small and medium -sized entrepreneurship and the creation of financial tools for small and medium -sized enterprises. “
On the basis of the above, he argued that “we have a completely different perception from the neoliberal logic of the government that keeps low income, increases the accuracy to collect taxes and earn some cartels and at the same time waste the productive capabilities of the European Union”.
Mr Tsoukalas referred to the demographic, describing the central national issue with social implications and recalled that the PASOK president had raised it in December at his meeting with the prime minister as a key field of consensus. He estimated that the demographic “is not resolved in a government term or by law and an article, but requires a long -term, cohesive and holistic strategy with a new model of development, productive reconstruction and regional development with a series of social policies to support the family”. “We did not see the prime minister, and he was committed, to take action so far,” he commented.
On the subject, he noted, inter alia, that PASOK has submitted proposals for a demographic for two years that have not been heard and announced that this year’s September 3rd will “have a great deal of the focus of the answer to this great national challenge”.
Regarding the developments in the Ukrainian issue, the PASOK spokesman stressed that “if the peace process takes place in essence by legalizing the invasion and possession of a percentage belonging to Ukraine, it creates negative data in relation to international law in general, while the country has been in general, while “The fact that we are returning to imperial negotiations with the law of the powerful and the spheres of influence and without the involvement of the UN, NATO and international organizations, raises a strong reflection on the role of Europe,” he said.
He drew attention to the government by saying that “it must have an external policy autonomous, always with a compass of international law and obviously with our alliances with the US and with other forces.” “We are a force that has a look at the West but wants an EU a factor of security, peace, stability. That is why we have also disagreed with the government’s policy on how it treats ethnic cleansing in Gaza and in dealing with Turkey’s aggressive policy in a fairly resilient way, “he said. He added that “a radical change in foreign policy” is needed and that “PASOK has said from the outset that this policy of constant concessions in front of a revisionist force produces accomplished and negative data” and noted: “The government is in a hurry to be royal to the king, to be more and for all.”
