In terms of the measures announced at the TIFthe finance minister said “I feel that they have been embraced by citizens because even the toughest critic will say that we have solid measures with a single narrative that touches the demographic and aims in the middle class.”
He explained that “the budgetary space was 1.76 billion, so we covered it all. With the given condition this is the space, after that we would go into control procedures. ” Asked, why did not decide generally reduction VAT And not only on the islands, he initially noted that “a study by the Bank of Greece shows that only 19% of the VAT reduction is reached the world in the short term”. He then said that “there was a distortion in the islands because there was already a reduced VAT on 5 islands and had to be resolved. There is a European Directive on the islands as there is higher shipping costs. The peculiarity of the part defines intervention. “
“Do people prefer to go money to themselves or through mediation?” Mr. Pierrakakis wondered, accusing the opposition of “saying it all by messing with the Thessaloniki exhibition with the Thessaloniki program”.
Specifically for the France He explained that the crisis in this country would not affect Greece “because this is the philosophy of the new European rule since surpluses do not play a role but you are negotiating expenses with Brussels. Expenditure is stable and the good year you have a surplus will go to debt while in a bad year the costs will remain to strengthen society. “
Referring to the “greater reform in taxation”, the Minister of Finance He said that “the way we tax is changed, we will now do it based on children, which has not been the case for 10 years”, adding that “measures for young people are incentive.

“A university professor had told me that the most political game is Tetris because successes disappear and the difficulties accumulate. The government has proven how and what to do. The policies we implement will arrive and talk to every part of the country. I think the political footprint will appear. In the first Eurogroup I went to I was told that Greece is budgetary with blood and a 10 -year difficult and the VAT gap that is not collected is decreased every year. “
“Listen to Alexis Tsipras’ speech, it was not rebring but a replay. The criticism they make is click on the throttle, people do not want a violent return to yesterday, ”concluded Kyriakos Pierrakakis.
