“SYRIZA has closed its political circle”
“Seven truths about controls and prices against the lies of SYRIZA” gives the Ministry of Development responding to an announcement by SYRIZA referring to the initiative to reduce prices in 2000 product codes.
Specifically, in its announcement, the Ministry of Development underlines:
“The audacity of SYRIZA to speak about lies is abysmal.
Is it true or false that the Ministry of Development has twice succeeded in bringing representatives of supermarkets, the food industry and multinationals to the table, achieving price reductions in 700 codes in 2024 and recently in 2,180 codes?
Is it true or false that 1,074 of them are food codes?
Is it true or false that the Ministry of Development and the Government are proceeding with the establishment of the new Independent Consumer Protection and Market Supervision Authority with 300 new auditors and an administrator with a mandate independent from political circles?
Is it true or a lie that DIMEA controls have been intensified, as over 45 thousand controls have been carried out in the last 15 months and more than 16 million euros in fines have been imposed, of which 5.5 million euros are to multinationals, for which SYRIZA has drunk the unspoken water?
Is it true or false that in the summer of 2024 fine caps have increased fivefold?
Is it true or false that Greece has in September, according to Eurostat data, the second lowest food inflation in the European Union, 1.4% against an average of 3.5%?
It has been said that SYRIZA has closed its political circle. With these kinds of announcements and behaviors, he just confirms it in the most solemn way. Lies have short legs, the Greek people remember.”
