Today’s message of the Prime Minister regarding the exit from the enhanced supervision is commented, in his announcement, by the press office of PASOK – Movement for Change, while at the same time he finds the opportunity to refer to the period of the memorandums.
“The prime minister and the economic staff of the government have celebrated three times in the space of two months the – pre-decided by the lenders in 2019 – the exit of the country from the enhanced supervision. Mr. Mitsotakis’ eulogistic reports of ‘historic day’ and that emerges, a new horizon of development and prosperity for all’ have the sole aim of setting up a misleading pre-election narrative”, argues PASOK – Movement for Change.
“On the contrary”, he continues, “the daily life experienced by Greek citizens as well as the real state of the economy are completely different.
– With inflation running at 11.3% and being among the seven highest in the Eurozone.
– With the purchasing power of Greeks being the second lowest in the EU.
– With the excess revenues of the state from indirect taxes not being channeled into policies, which effectively relieve the most vulnerable.
– By permanently deferring the taxation of energy companies’ surplus profits which boosts the big importers of natural gas.
– With the government’s refusal to temporarily reduce taxes on fuel, energy and basic consumer goods.
– With the percentage of employees covered by collective labor agreements in Greece being the seventh lowest in the EU.
– With the country having the highest level of debt/GDP in Europe.
– With the production base still fragile, as there is a rapid increase in the deficit of the goods balance in the 1st half of 2022, which is the highest since ELSTAT data are available”.
In the same announcement, reference is made to the country’s recent past, especially as it is noted, “citizens recognize the struggle and the responsible attitude of PASOK in the midst of an unprepared Europe to save the country from the brink of bankruptcy due to the fiscal derailment of the Karamanli administration. Disastrous deeds which were covered up by both the ND and SYRIZA. What followed were the delusions of the Zappians and the “repeal of the memorandums with a law and an article”, which led to the third unnecessary Tsipras-Kammenos memorandum. Today, citizens trust PASOK again – Movement for Change for solutions with social justice and national dignity”, concludes the announcement of PASOK – Movement for Change.
