‘Bells’ in the government from the polls to be precise

By Dimitris Gatsios

Waves of rising prices for energy and basic consumer goods are squeezing the budgets of millions of households and businesses, the government emphasizes, at every opportunity that the support of society and, especially, the most vulnerable citizens, will continue, but the concern about the consequences in everyday life it is pervasive, as is the concern for accuracy, which is reflected in another poll, which came to light.

The data, recorded in the Pulse investigation on behalf of SKAI, are ringing the bell at the Maximos Palace, not only for the polling boom, but also for the answers related to dealing with the consequences of the war developments in Ukraine. The vast majority of respondents therefore call for further “shielding” interventions, with most turning their attention to the costs of electricity, gas, but also food and fuel prices. .

According to the results of the poll, 83% of the citizens state that they want other or additional measures, in relation to those announced by the government. In particular, 38% believe that government interventions are in the right direction but “more are needed”, 45% believe that government measures are “in the wrong direction”, while the element that βά draws attention is that more… 64% of those who state that they intend to vote for New Democracy ask for support pillows.

Regarding the intention to vote, the ruling party leads with 32 points, followed by SYRIZA with 23.5%, the Movement for Change with 14%, the KKE with 6%, the Hellenic Solution with 4.5% and the MERA25 with three points .

“As long as the crisis lasts, the government will always use every opportunity that exists, every opportunity that exists, provided that it does not create wider problems in the course of the Greek economy to stand by the people and mitigate the consequences of the crisis. We have explained in detail, very recently, why the reduction of Value Added Tax or Special Consumption Tax has not been approved in this titanic effort we are making to mitigate the effects of the crisis. We are here. “It can have the greatest possible effect in mitigating the consequences of accuracy for the Greek society, the government will use it”, said, from the information room, Mr. Economou.

In this context, however, the political momentum continues to move around the Prime Minister’s reports on the possibility of a coalition government, with government officials pointing out that the central goal remains, always, the autonomy in the seemingly double ballots of 2023 .

“Two things characterize the prime minister. The first is the respect in the institutions for this and he has clarified in all tones and he repeated yesterday that the government will run out of four years and the elections will be held at the end of spring 2023. The second that characterizes the prime minister but also the view of our party is that the country needs stable governments, because this is the best way, a stable government, to respond effectively, in a timely manner, quickly to the existing crises and to have a country in a specific direction… “The best way to achieve stable governments is autonomy for this, and New Democracy rejected the law of simple proportional representation from the beginning and changed the electoral law,” said the government spokesman, with the Maximos Palace keeping its meaning in the forefront. stability “, which will be the culmination of the movements and narratives of the coming period, in a global liquidity environment and multiple crises.

Beyond stability, what is becoming apparent is that the ruling party will continue to follow the logic of new openings in voter tanks. “The country needs stable governance and the best way is autonomy. An autonomy that does not mean that because it will be a one-party government it will not incorporate broader perceptions and views. This is what Kyriakos Mitsotakis has been doing since the first moment he took over the government. Beyond that, it is the people who decide, and in some way the country must be governed, now if some are possessed by thoughts that refer to titles and types and crowns of other eras and do not want to see the big picture or In any case, they have made their decisions but they do not want to announce them, it is their own issue “, said Mr. Oikonomou, responding, in this way to the reports of Mr. Androulakis.
