Skourletis: Popular inflation is much higher than the average you announce

The Parliamentary Representative of SYRIZA – Progressive Alliance, State MP, Panos Skourletis, on the occasion of the positions of the Minister of Interior, Mr. Voridis, but also the Minister of Finance, Mr. Staikouras, during the first day of the debate on the state budget of the Parliament, pointed out:

Regarding the position of Mr. Voridis:

I am sure that Mr. Voridis listens well and understands. Because it referred to the financing of the Local Government, I will submit here a table that has been prepared by Mr. Petsas on December 2 of this year: Presentation to the Committee of Regions of the Parliament “The development of OTA Present and Future”, which shows that in recent years Local A ‘and B’ grade local government gets less money. Everything else you tell us, I think is a joke. Your deputy says so.

The Local Government – and here is the reality that comes and denies you – knows that it breathed a sigh of relief during the days of SYRIZA. And this breath is called: FILODIMOS 1, FILODIMOS 2, extraordinary subsidy in the mountainous and island municipalities, extraordinary amounts for natural disasters and water scarcity, competitions for permanent cleaning staff! The Local Government knows all this! It still produces works, it works based on our signature!

You have “drained” the municipalities and among others, you ask them in addition to these conditions to have a 60 million surplus for this year! What are the municipalities to have a surplus? Anonymous companies; They have to provide social services and, especially in these circumstances, there should be extraordinary costs for covid. And you do not anticipate them!

For “Help at Home” the results for the staff have not been released yet! Have you picked up the phone, got to ASEP to tell what is happening with these people or are you preparing to privatize this service during your favorite practice?

Finally, about the telework that you said you voted for. Do you apply it now in the conditions of the pandemic? Do you apply it? Do you have any plans? Are you few dead? I do not know how many there are today. Will be applied;

From then on, because you said about bankruptcy and about reactionary and ruling forces. The one who can not satisfy the needs of the largest part of society does not rule! You can manipulate and dominate, for the time being. Hegemony is not said when the middle classes are crushed and when 31% of workers in Greece are paid 200 euros! Bankruptcy do you know what it means? Overpricing, greek statistics of the Karamanlis government, starters, remoules, all of which are synonymous with the vicious bipartisanship of the past.

Thanks.

Regarding the position of Mr. Staikouras:

First of all, you are referring to the country as if it started after 2015. Before ’15, tell us, how much was the cost of borrowing? Prohibitive! Nobody lent you! Why did you bankrupt the country!

Second, you are talking about growth rates. Finally, you admit that there were growth rates from 2015 to 2018, when from 2010 to 2015 we lost 25% of our GDP! We had a continuous recession! These do not have a signature? Yours as a space, but also yours as a government official.

For the taxes you are talking about, at the moment the projected tax increase has in it – at 3.5 billion – 2.3 billion indirect taxes. Indirect taxes are not from growth! They are the taxes of accuracy and you know it very well! When coffee, oil, spaghetti, legumes are thrown on the shelves, you are profiting through indirect taxes. That is why popular inflation is much higher than the average you are announcing.
