Mr. Tsipras It targets the middle class once again as the only one that has confirmed with its current speech is his usual tactic of imposing new taxes, which has been painted by a “patriotic levy” by the Minister of Finance. Kyriakos Pierrakakis Referring to what the former prime minister said at the Economist event.
“Rebranding ended up replay” was Kyriakos Pierrakakis’ commentary comment that noted that in his days the average salaries per employee not only increased, but in 2019 it was 6.8% smaller than 2014.
The Pierrakaki post in detail:
“Mr Tsipras appeared today 11 years after the famous Thessaloniki program, which as a result had a third unnecessary memorandum, capital controls and the imposition of 30 new taxes and contributions, proposing vague and unnecessary promises. The only specific one he confirmed was his usual tactic of imposing new taxes, which painted it “patriotic contribution”, without specifying who will concern, but judging by his actions he again targets the middle class.
The New Democracy government has, on the other hand, proved that tax reduction policy is its basic political choice.
In addition, Mr Tsipras, referring to a positive immigration balance and the example of Spain, apparently forgets his failed immigration policy, with well-known images of shame for the 2015-2016 period still fresh.
As for the financial data he provided, we understand that Mr Tsipras is eagerly looking to find at least one index that has improved during his rule, as almost all macroeconomic and budgetary indicators show the backlash that the country was found in his days. Indicatively, it is only recalled that the average salaries per employee in the five -year -old Tsipras not only did not increase, but in 2019 was 6.8% smaller than 2014. Household deposits decreased by 13.3%, the increase in investment was zero and debt as a percentage of GDP, despite all new measures.
Rebranding ended up replay. “
