Al. Haritsis: Elections for the implementation of a program of progressive reorganization of the economy

“The government admits that it is unable to effectively activate the state mechanisms for controlling the prices of fuel and basic necessities,” said SYRIZA’s head of Development and Investment and Messinian MP Alexis Haritsis.

“Recently, individual fines have been announced, but in essence the control mechanisms are under-functioning” he continued (“Radio Thessaloniki 94.5”). . “With the Question submitted by 62 deputies of SYRIZA-PS we ask the government to publish the detailed quantitative and qualitative data on fuel controls so that consumers know but also not to contaminate the entire service sector of gas stations” He added that “there is a need to tighten the regulatory framework, but it will be implemented in practice.”

“With inflation soaring to a 28-year high – the highest in Western Europe, with the highest wholesale electricity price in Europe since last July and with a record high gasoline price since 2012, the government refuses to take decisive action on the support of the society “, the MP pointed out. “For months now, it should have proceeded to reduce the VAT on fuel and impose a ceiling on the wholesale price of electricity, as claimed and achieved by Spain and Portugal,” Al. Charitsis. “Despite the relevant recommendation of the Commission, the government did not take any such initiative, but chose to hide behind RAE for the taxation of energy providers’ super profits,” he said.

“The government has underestimated the magnitude of the crisis and cultivated a virtual reality about the crisis that it did not want to spoil at all. At the same time it remains tied to big financial interests which it does not want to harm,” said the SYRIZA chief. “Mr. Mitsotakis is looking for a way out of the impasses to which he has led Greek society. Very soon there will be a democratic way out of the implementation of a program of progressive reorganization of the economy which will address the issue of accuracy at its core.”
