N. Iliopoulos: The jump in inflation for April also confirms that Mitsotaki’s signature is accurate

“A hole in the water” characterized the measures announced by Kyriakos Mitsotakis to be precise, the spokesman of SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance, Nassos Iliopoulos.

“Based on the preliminary data on inflation in April, Greece is at 9.4%. This means that we are in 6th place in Europe, again worse than average,” he noted (ANT1).

He also reminded that “according to a survey of the Institute of Small Enterprises of GSVEE, already in December, long before the last inflated bills came, for 50% of households the income ended on the 20th of the month”. “For the majority of society, the month does not come out”, underlined Nassos Iliopoulos.

“If one sees the wholesale price increases in the electricity that pass through the tariffs, Greece is at 99%. The second country, Austria, is at 46%. When we see such differences, then we are talking about looting and the one that coordinates looting. “is the Mitsotakis government,” he said.

Asked about the measures announced by Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the SYRIZA-PS spokesman stressed: “in no case do they answer the problem, while confirming a series of lies of the government”. “It is not possible, all the time ago, for the government to claim that the war in Ukraine was responsible for the power surges and now to announce that the subsidy will start last December, long before the war started,” he said. “Greece has had a negative record in the wholesale price of electricity since last summer.” Explaining why we got there, he pointed out: “depoliticization without a plan, privatization of PPC and a series of golden boys within PPC, who are literally plundering the income of society”. “So, we have a policy for which the Mitsotakis government is responsible,” Nassos Iliopoulos noted.

“There is another way,” he said. electricity for households “. “On the contrary, today the government spokesman tells us to be happy, because the new bills will come; only 30% increased,” he said.

“The government does not even follow what the Commission’s toolbox provides for dealing with accuracy,” said Nassos Iliopoulos, “such as the reduction of the excise tax on fuel or the taxation of the super profits of energy companies.” “The government has not clarified to us whether or not these super-profits exist,” he said meaningfully, recalling that “Mr. Mitsotakis initially claimed that we were lying.” Finally, today they are talking about “super-revenues” of companies. So who was right? “, Underlined Nassos Iliopoulos.

Referring to the adjustment clause, he once again called on ND to support the amendment submitted by SYRIZA to the Parliament, which stipulates that “until the Court decides on its legality, the citizens will not be able to pay the adjustment clause without interruption.” electrification “. “A pensioner who receives a pension of 500 and 600 euros cannot be cut off because he is unable to pay a bill of 700 and 800 euros. This is barbaric,” said Nassos Iliopoulos.

Finally, regarding the elections of SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance on Sunday, May 15 for the election of president and Central Committee, he underlined: “we call on any citizen who wishes, to register that day and vote for the president of the party”. “This process is connected with the political developments, we remember very well the irritation caused in ND by the image of our conference, a conference with 10,000 people”, stressed Nassos Iliopoulos and added: “our message is that on May 15 we send back the account to the government “. “We are sending back the bill for the electricity, to be precise, for the tragedy in health. This government must leave immediately and the one who can expel it is a strong SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance”, he concluded.
