The reduction in taxes each year, through the increase in state revenue, was raised as a key priority of the government by the Deputy Minister under the Prime Minister and a government spokesman. Pavlos Marinakis.
“The job of the government over the next 1.5 – 2 years is to run faster than the deterioration of a major problem, the increased cost of living. In short, he “speaks a little” and bring handed over, “said Mr. Marinakis, In the “Best Late” show of Action 24.
The government spokesman, however, said that the second two years of the second term is a very difficult time, as complaints are accumulated and there is the infamous deterioration. “I think the balance is among the one to project in a much more specific and simple way, not simplistic, to the world, how you do, it rests on each other’s life. So what does this tax mean? What does the recovery fund mean? Does the other tell you the recovery fund? What do I care about? “He said.
For fake news
Mr. Marinakis also referred to the fake news he is called upon to answer. “My life, that is, for the last two and a half years, and especially in the last six months and a little more, is to respond to lies that you cannot imagine that they are expressed by the political system- a part of it- and some journalists who reproduce them,” he said, explaining that the dissemination is being made by the media. Asked if there are arrogance phenomena that have caused the government to wear, the government spokesman said: “Having daily and close cooperation- having this honor- with Kyriakos Mitsotakis, I think it is one of the most unjust accusations that the opposition has. It is the opposite of arrogance: his attitude, his life, his personal life. From then on, yes, there have been behaviors in recent years and the first four years and the second four years. I find less proportionate than other governments that hurt the world and cost all of us and we saw them in the European elections. “
For toxicity in public discourse
Mr. Marinakis referred to both toxicity in public discourse and the threats he received through social media. “Especially during the Tempe anniversary, when we had to come forward to defend some positions that were particularly unprofessional because on a ground of fair indignation for the tragic accident of the Tempi, which are not paid by those who are guilty, I do not” talk “, We were called by people who have concealed smugglers and even murderers. Let me remind you that he has attempted to associate the prime minister’s political leader with the death of a young man and much more, now we do not repeat them. ”
‘We have to count our words’
Mr. Marinakis also answered more personal questions. He said about his role that representing the government and the prime minister “some things that when you say you have to be sure they are ripe. Because when you represent a government, not even the country’s prime minister, you need to know that a phrase about something you can announce, if not sure, can cause a problem. We have to count our words when something is still under a process. ”
Also asked if he has been blindfolded, he said: “I take care of the information as much as I can, because the representative is very much based on the information he receives with his associates from the ministries, who do the best possible work … Undersecretary, to check this information and you should generally not be too absolute when you carry something. Thank God these years – to hit wood – they have gone well. The first thing I was told by those who have gone through this position and much older is that it is an “electric chair”. It’s really, but you have to manage it. “
