N. Iliopoulos: K. Mitsotakis subsidizes the super profits of energy companies with the money of Greek citizens

“The SYRIZA-PS Spokesman called on K. Mitsotakis to” finally stop the mockery at the expense of Greek society. ” Nassos Iliopoulos.

Unleashing harsh criticism of the ND government for managing the wave of precision “that in Greece had reached long before the crisis in Ukraine”, he directly accused that “Mr. Mitsotakis by refusing to intervene in the energy pricing policy simply subsidizes all this over time the super profits of energy companies with the money of Greek citizens “. “Once again the ND government shows that it does not want to protect the security of Greek society, but the profits of the few,” he said.

In particular, N. Iliopoulos reminded (Ionian tv) that in September “Mr. Skrekas told us that the increase in electricity bills will be 2 to 3 euros more, and finally the bills increased 3 and 4 times”. “Greece has had the most expensive wholesale price since November. When, in the midst of a crisis, energy companies, together with PPC, record huge profits, this is called blackouts,” he said.

“The Commission is talking about price control, which means intervention in the energy pricing policy and a specific ceiling. When SYRIZA-PS asked for this, ND reacted. Now what will Mr. Mitsotakis do?” N. Iliopoulos asked, and in fact stressed on the proposals of the Prime Minister in the Commission: “His job is to implement policies, such as the reduction of excise duties on fuel, which the Commission has requested. Why has not proceeded to reduce the VAT fuel, oil and gas? ”

In the meantime, he blamed the ND government for the “violent de-ligation plan that strengthened the country’s dependence on natural gas”. “In the previous days, out of the 7 lignite plants that we have and are licensed until 2028, only two were operational. Why did this happen?”

“Immediate reduction of oil and fuel taxes is required, control of notoriety, intervention in PPC’s pricing policy. Iliopoulos.
