“Kyriakos Mitsotakis is the first prime minister, a second four -year post -war, who demonstrates the corresponding superiority over his opponents.”
The government spokesman Paul Marinakis In an interview with Alpha Radio R/S and referring to the measures that the prime minister will announce to the TIF, he stressed that we will see a series of tax rates reductions, with a permanent character.
“Keep four elements, because we are a day before. Will concern all citizens. All employees, pensioners, namely private employees, civil servants, freelancers, pensioners. So no one will be excluded from the benefit, either through the less withholding they will have on their salary or if they are freelancers with the least tax they will pay at the end of the year. One is this, “he said.
Mr Marinakis noted that tax cuts would not exclude any citizen either a worker or a retired and that there would be a great deal of emphasis on families with children, for obvious reasons for supporting the family and dealing with the demographic as possible.
“These measures will also have a support of the Greek region. And the fourth I can tell you is that these measures are, as we have said, 1.5 billion euros, that is exactly what we have said. This is not what we say to open the pouch, with money that does not exist. The exact accounting will be announced by the Prime Minister, but they are not the amounts written for 2, 2.5, 3 billion all this is not the case“, He underlined.
The government spokesman noted that state revenue is increased not because the government increased taxes but as a result of growth and tax evasion.
For the measures concerning the Region, he said that the prime minister’s announcements would also really concern all citizens.
“But there will be a special care, beyond the general announcements. That is, no one will be excluded. And for our people – our fellow citizens, who either by geographical or other criteria, such as the demographic, which I have put you as a dimension, will have a greater need for support, “he said.
And he stressed: “In a nutshell: The goal is? As we grow the pie, as we collect money, which are not from taxes above, to refund them with permanent characteristics to a logical consistent in the ideology of the faction and the prime minister’s personal, liberal ideology, who speaks of tax cuts rather than temporary benefits. So fewer taxes means more income to address the consequences of increased life costs. “
The government spokesman noted that they would not concern indirect taxes and that all measures are not a basket but a comprehensive tax reform. “They are measures that are part of a broader, big, brave, without – again – to go beyond what we have said about the money, so as not to misunderstand, tax reform. The focus of changes, yes, is direct taxes. In the days of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, as prime minister, more than 22 indirect taxes have been reduced, along with the direct, yet [τώρα] We will focus on reducing direct taxes, “he said.
Pavlos Marinakis also said that a second four years have always had differences from one first and He said that Kyriakos Mitsotakis is the first prime minister of a second four -year postwar, who demonstrates the corresponding superiority over his opponents, But given the deterioration, which exists after so many years. “I see it as follows, we have also seen it in the European elections: there is a part of our fellow citizens, who generally supported us in the 2023, 2019 elections, either timeless supporters or new supporters, who are critically awaiting aside, to see results, to see any more mistakes, to seem more. Here, then, I take it as yet another opportunity we have -the previous ones we have achieved and won, without meaning that the world was completely satisfied. Obviously, he was satisfied with some we did. It still has demands- to show that the country is going forward, “he added.
He said that no one disagrees that there are problems and that the government is trying to increase income as much as possible and inflation.
“And the opposition says, ‘Give steps, give it one, give it the other.’ But we have two essential differences. The first is that we say how we will do it, that is, where to find the money, find it and do it. And the second is that what we are saying, we do it. Because a big difference from Kyriakos Mitsotakis from other prime ministers or opposition leaders, because everyone was going to the TIF step is that what he says every year does, “he added.
Mr Marinakis said on tax reform that he was coming to 72 reductions in direct and indirect taxes.
“This government, like no other European government, did not create the crisis of inflation, did not cause the crisis, as we lived 10 years ago with the unnecessary 120 billion memorandum. But it is obliged to face this crisis, like other governments. We admit this need, we admit it by taking measures, but, as you realize, yes, there is an elementary declining, but we are still not in phase, what we call deflation, “he said.
“Greece has a government that grows the pie, that is, it creates revenue conditions, reducing taxes. As long as we have a government, such as the government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, we will only see measures that will increase citizens’ income. Our country has risen an important uphill route. It has not reached where citizens want, but they are in better shape in all areas. They need a lot more, “he added.
Regarding the forthcoming speech at Alexis Tsipras’ Vellidio, he said that every citizen in our democratic system has the right to have his dreams and plans. “History has written and recorded, as well as any former prime minister, Mr Tsipras, as a prime minister who has been captured by the citizens and as the leader of the opposition and brought out his policies. I think it is much more important to the citizens who will hear about the present and the future by the Prime Minister, an account of what has been done in these years. Kyriakos Mitsotakis is still in these terms to date, talking to society and is not used to talking to the past. A past, which – I say again – has been evaluated, based on the real facts, “he said.
About so -called “Mafia of Crete”Mr Marinakis said that we are talking about events five to ten years ago and that every politician, every prime minister makes his choices, persons and politicians.
“For them it is judged and not for the beautiful words he can say, as beautiful as they sound. Among the key choices, critical choices, basically the basic choice, was Mr Kammenos. So, more value than criticizing Mr Kammenos – the sound of the sounds we all hear – to remind citizens, because, you know it’s a big deal not to forget, it is even greater to move forward and not to talk about the past just. Both have value. Well, Mr Tsipras has made his choices and strategic choices. With whom will you govern your country, with whom will you manage the country, are the top choices for a politician. I don’t think we all have this opportunity every day. In a few people, the world gives this historical and very honorable command. So these options are specific, they have a name and we have a duty to remind them. But again, this government will neither succeed nor fail on the basis of who will have an opponent. This government will be evaluated for the deliverables, for me this is the key word in relation to the lives of citizens, “he noted.
