The Minister of Development, Adonis Georgiadis, spoke about the biggest energy crisis in history, speaking on SKAI TV and added that this situation of increases in gas and oil prices, in the shadow of the war in Ukraine, is not faced by a state alone.
He noted that today the Commission will announce an additional package of measures, while referring to the provision for the profit margin on fuel, noting that although it works, the government does not expect a change in prices, as raw materials increase.
The lignite units work full time
The minister described as populist the allegations that the price of energy has increased in our country because the lignite plants have been closed. He explained that except for one unit in Kardia Amynteou that closed in 2018, all the other lignite units are working at full capacity.
He stressed that the Mitsotakis decision for de-lignification concerns their closure in 2023 and nothing that is to be done then can affect the price in March 2022.
The minister noted that the government keeps its composure and trusts the EU and called on citizens to think about what would have happened if Greece had been outside the eurozone and had to face the energy crisis in conditions of inflationary drachma.
“We will make our cross that we have stayed in the eurozone and the euro and we did not do the hat to those who danced that night in the referendum in the Constitution, the fools, and would take us all by the throat. Imagine we were in drachma today and “We should have had an inflationary drachma and we should have bought natural gas and oil,” said Mr. Georgiadis. He also added: “We will make our cross that the late ethnarch, Konstantinos Karamanlis put us in the European economic community. That we entered the euro during Simitis. That Samaras kept us in the euro when everyone said we would leave. I will add we will do our cross, which Tsipras made the asshole, because I want to be fair, about whether we were in the drachma today… “.
What will happen to the accuracy check
Mr. Georgiadis also referred to the check of accuracy, saying that the government can not be indifferent to those who are most in need and will help them from the backwardness of the state. He explained that it will concern people with low income while the terms and amount are specified by the Ministry of Finance and are expected in the near future.
