We are reinforcing the Greeks’ income with specific measures, the Deputy Prime Minister said
The government has not been apathetic either in previous years or today, but has taken a series of initiatives to address it precisionas the Vice -President of the Government said, Kostis Hatzidakisin an interview with Mega TV station. He noted that it is an international problem, not only Greek, and is the result of the disorders caused in international markets by the crowning crisis and the energy crisis.
Mr. Hatzidakis reminded market controls and fines imposedthe extraordinary contributions to energy companies and interventions for banks’ supplies, a series of benefits paid before and after the 2023 elections, wage increases, both in the minimum and in general, as well as the interventions for prices. “This year with the reduction of port fees, the prices on ferry tickets were restored or even reduced, while the government’s intervention and European level for the operation of the electricity market has led to a reduction in retail prices for September,” he added, adding:
“And TIF measures are an answer to accuracy. A family with three children has a profit of 1,650 euros a year, that is, more than one salary. Correspondingly, they apply to young people who are not taxed, for the abolition of ENFIA in the villages, the return of a rent to tenants and the 250 euro allowance to be paid this year to 60% of retirees and is a permanent measure. “
And reiterated that The government has chosen the way to reduce direct taxes to boost citizens’ income in order to go straight to their pocket. “Contrary to the reduction of VAT, whether there would be a benefit to the citizen depends on intermediate businesses. This measure has been implemented in Greece in the past and recently in Spain and Portugal where they took it back because it did not succeed, “the deputy prime minister said.
“I am not willing to claim that Greece has become a paradise landscape. I know there are families who bring them hard to ride. But I am not willing to accept that Greece has become supposedly Africa and we go with the reverse. Someone who was unemployed in 2015-2019 and today has found a job, when was he having a better time? As an unemployed on SYRIZA or a worker in New Democracy? ” questioned.
To a question about him OPECEPEreiterated that The House Inquiry Committee will be investigated. “It is advisable for the public debate to turn to the real dimensions of the problem. Fine fines have been very big in previous years and not only in Greece. There was an incorrect inter -party perception in other European countries. We do not want to hide anything, in the exams anyone can provide their own details. “he underlined.
“There have been many steps in front of the country. The question is whether more can be done, I say that they can, and if there are forces in a reasonable and reliable way to take these steps. This is not a matter of intention, it is a matter of seriousness and credibility, “concluded Mr. Hatzidakis.
