Parliament: The bills of YPOIK were voted by a large majority

During the uprising, the bills of the Ministry of Finance for the State Report for the financial year 2019 as well as the Balance Sheet and the other Financial Statements of the Central Administration were voted by a large majority from ND and SYRIZA, reference period 1/1/2019 to 31 / 12/2019.

The rapporteur of ND Vassilis Spanakis voting for the Report and Balance Sheet of 2019 stressed that “the Net Position of the country is positive and we are optimistic for the Greek economy”. Citing detailed data from the Report on State Revenues and collection rates, he said that “from the comparison of confirmed and collected revenues during the five years 2015-2019, we see that the percentage decreases every year, while there is an increase for the year 2019”. adding that this “clearly shows the failure of the policies pursued by the previous government”. Regarding the exceedances that occurred in relation to the 2019 Budget, he stated that these are mainly due to the increased payments for transfers to Social Security Organizations and mainly to EFKA to cover pensions, to payments of grants to local authorities, as well as to increased social benefits. . He emphasized the need to immediately establish a comprehensive Register of Fixed Assets, as their importance in the results of the Equity is crucial and added that “our priority is the tax policy that must move in a direction of reducing tax rates and increasing tax rates. revenue “.

SYRIZA rapporteur Katerina Papanatsiou stressed that the 2019 budget voted by the SYRIZA-ANEL coalition government was a first step in the country’s progress after the memoranda we had from the policies of the ND and PASOK governments. On the way to restoring the credibility of the Greek debt, the Greek bonds but also the fiscal policy in general and the consolidation of confidence in the prospects of the Greek economy, he stated that it is “necessary to create a primary fiscal surplus so that the interest on the public debt can be paid.” , but at the same time to be able to reduce its height “. The model of SYRIZA’s policy, unlike that of ND, is that “for us, development is not a one-dimensional obsession”, he said, adding: “Economic recovery and fiscal order must be created in a fair way.” No development is sustainable unless it is primarily socially just. Although the 2019 budget was another surplus budget, it was also an expansionary budget – based on the current situation, it was trying to give fiscal space to fair growth. It had reduced contributions and taxes and increased social spending, despite the limitations of the Stability Pact and other European fiscal rules.

KINAL’s special spokesman Costas Skandalidis noted that the discussions of the Report and the Balance Sheet should be the trigger to have a broader conversation on the substance of what development took place, with what procedures. He noted that every time remarks are made that are not dealt with by a new procedure, “we do not even correct the formalities of the distributions and procedures”. He noted that the execution of the ’19 Budget was split between SYRIZA and New Democracy, which “proved that it ultimately had no intention of renegotiating any of SYRIZA’s heavy legacies, such as the absurd 3.5% primary surplus.” , the mortgage of public property through the Superfund for 99 years, the removal of the protection of the first residence nor was the EKAS supplemented “. He explained that the Report of 2019 as an essential account of the projects and days of the government of ND can not be approved by KINAL like the subchapter of 2019.

Hellenic Solution expert Vassilis Viliardos said that Greece again has “monstrous twin deficits” and “huge twin debts”. “The rise in our external debt shows that the competitiveness of our economy has been lost again despite the painful internal devaluation, while we also have a jumping increase in our trade deficit,” he said. He wondered how clean the exit from the memoranda was when we are still under enhanced supervision and noted: “The difference between ND and SYRIZA for the” pillow “is that now it is filled with loans, while before it was filled with surpluses”. He attributed the country’s low lending rates to the European Central Bank, “something that will eventually lead to the sale of all public property.” This report said “it is not worth it for the Greeks” and “it is dangerous if it is considered as a basis for decision making”.

The special speaker of MERA25 George Logiadis noted that “the Report and the Balance Sheet of 2019 comes to the Parliament for discussion and voting with a delay of two years and as the Court of Auditors notes once again the fixed assets of the State are not recorded, the uncollected are not included requirements certified by the customs of the country and the obligations arising from the armaments programs have not been recorded “. All this he said creates a distorted and wrong image and in the end what is depicted is “zero reliability, excellent impotence”. He wondered what fiscal freedom of movement we have when “we are a bankrupt state”, noting that the memoranda that have been signed have condemned the country to an endless prison of debt, devaluation, enslavement and degradation of the dignity of Greeks. Voting against the 2019 Report and Balance Sheet, he said that MERA25 insists on its proposal to set up a committee to examine the bankruptcy case and the memoranda, saying “we are the only party that has submitted a comprehensive proposal for effective protection of citizens and recovery of our national sovereignty “.
