Al. Tsipras: Immediate measures to prevent the crisis from becoming a humanitarian tragedy

“The disastrous choices of the Mitsotakis government in energy have left society, the economy and the citizens victims of the crisis,” said the president of SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance, Alexis Tsipras, in a statement.

“Today, when even the Commission urges the member states to put pricing, even to nationalize infrastructure if necessary, Mr. Mitsotakis pretends to be the unknown, supposedly sends letters and promises new support measures”, notes Alexis Tsipras and underlines that ” measures are needed immediately and effectively to cut the accuracy: ceiling on electricity and gas prices, immediate reduction of VAT on fuel, immediate reduction of VAT on basic food products, increase of the minimum wage to 800 euros “.

“Mr. Mitsotakis, instead of pretending to be the prime minister of limited liability, the prime minister of excuse, it is better to launch the procedures for appealing to the popular verdict, so that the country acquires a government of responsibility, so that the current crisis does not turn into a humanitarian tragedy.” Alexis Tsipras.

The statement of Al. Tsipras:

“The disastrous choices of the Mitsotakis government in energy have left society, the economy and the citizens a victim of the crisis.

Violent de-ligation, the privatization of PPC and electricity networks, the seizure of the electricity mix in imported gas, deconstructed the country’s energy strategy and brought businesses and households to a standstill long before the war broke out.

The absence of market controls, the tolerance of harmonized practices and the scandal of the power companies, the persistent refusal of pricing in the increases, were aimed only at serving specific interests to the detriment of the economy and society.

Today, when even the Commission urges the member states to put pricing, even to nationalize infrastructure if necessary, Mr. Mitsotakis pretends to be the unknown, supposedly sends letters and promises new support measures.

I wonder if he has even understood the consequences of his criminal choices.

If he has realized what a tragic impasse he has already brought to Greek society.

The country needs an immediate redesign of the National Energy Strategy.

By postponing the de-lignification and resumption of activity in the lignite fields.

By restoring the public and public benefit character of PPC.

With the cancellation of the process of dissolution and sale of LARCO, which in the current conditions of rising nickel prices, becomes again of strategic importance.

And immediate and effective measures are needed to stop the accuracy:

– Ceiling in the prices of electricity and gas in the accounts of households and businesses.
-Immediate reduction of VAT on fuel.
-Immediate reduction of VAT on basic food products.
-And increase of the minimum wage to 800 euros.

“Mr. Mitsotakis, instead of pretending to be the prime minister of limited liability, the prime minister of excuse, it is better to launch the procedures for appealing to the popular verdict, so that the country acquires a government of responsibility, so that the current crisis does not turn into a humanitarian tragedy.”
