N. Iliopoulos: The Mitsotaki government has put its signature on the wave of accuracy

“The Mitsotaki government has put its signature on the current wave of accuracy,” said SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance spokesman Nassos Iliopoulos, speaking last night on the “+ NEWS” channel of Flash TV, Dion TV, Center TV. of Macedonia.

Mr. Iliopoulos commented that “it is characteristic that 65% of the respondents in a Prorata survey claim that the government’s choices are responsible for the accuracy” and noted that “the Greek economy has not yet faced the most serious consequences of the Russian invasion of Ukraine “and” we still see the preludes to this wave. ” As he stressed, “since August Greece has been recording a negative record in the wholesale prices of electricity” something that is due “to the privatization policy of PPC followed by the Mitsotakis government, to the violent de-ligation that it proceeded to but also to the fact that for 2.5 years the basic salary is frozen “.

He reiterated that there must be an immediate increase in the minimum wage to 800 euros, a reduction in the FTA on fuel and natural gas, and the taxation of “skyrocketing” profits in the energy market. He pointed out that “PPC only on Monday increased its new tariffs by 36%, a huge crime against citizens”. “According to data from the Commission, the average increase in energy prices at retail, at EU level, is around 30%. In Greece it exceeds 100%”, he stressed, adding that “it is obvious that in our country there is a special problem and this is the Mitsotakis government “. He also said that “according to a survey by the Small Business Institute of GSEVEE, for 50% of households the income ends on the 20th of the month, ie the majority of society can not make ends meet”.

Assessing that the current government “can not and does not want to implement a policy in favor of the social majority”, he said that “what is needed immediately is political change”, noting that “this is also the risk of our congress”. Describing the immediate steps of a “progressive government”, he enumerated: “Regulation, by writing off a significant part, of the pandemic debt, increase of the minimum wage, implementation of all the necessary measures to deal effectively with accuracy”.

The party spokesman stressed that “the 3rd congress of SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance is taking place at a time when the rule of Kyriakos Mitsotakis now seems to have collapsed, while it is obvious that society is looking for an alternative.” “It is therefore up to us,” he said, “to make clear the context of political change but at the same time to discuss how a modern Left party can be organized, with more members, with more democracy.” “It is certain that through this process SYRIZA will emerge stronger”, Mr. Iliopoulos underlined.
