“The inaction of the government and its inability to intervene in the issue of accuracy costs the whole of our society,” said the head of Development and Investment of SYRIZA – PS and MP from Messinia, Alexis Haritsis

“Already since last February we have made a number of parliamentary interventions for the then apparent increases” he reminded (Athens 9.84) “while since November we have submitted an amendment to reduce the EFC in energy, which unfortunately was rejected by the government.”

“As in the pandemic, the government’s predictions for the transience of accuracy were not confirmed by reality,” said the head of SYRIZA. “For months now, our country has had the most expensive wholesale price of electricity in all of Europe, while over time our economy has supported its growth in cheap electricity,” he added, accusing the government of “proceeding without a plan to de-ligation” and that “with the full sale of PPC and distribution networks, we can not pursue a national energy policy and to keep prices. ”
