SYRIZA attack on K. Mitsotaki: audacity to talk about energy profit ceiling

SYRIZA-PS accuses the Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, of “unbelievable audacity” in a statement, commenting that “he speaks after a celebration about a ceiling on energy profits, after the relevant proposal of the Commission in the direction requested by SYRIZA, the one that he has been denying it for so long and has allowed the orgy of scandal in the cartels, making Greece a negative European champion in the wholesale electricity price “.

The official opposition states that “from the first moment of the explosion of price increases in electricity and gas, SYRIZA Progressive Alliance calls for control of electricity prices and regulation of the energy market by utilizing PPC, so that profiteering stops and households survive and “But” six months ago, long before the war in Ukraine, Mr. Mitsotakis denied it and mocked SYRIZA ‘s proposal, talking about a “temporary phenomenon”, “unrestrained parochialism” and “money trees”.

“Let Mr. Mitsotakis stop being the prime minister of excuse”, SYRIZA emphasizes and adds: “Finally let him leave the communication games and take things for granted, because the citizens and the businesses are in despair and are unable to pay”. Specifically, it calls for: Control of profits and regulation of the energy market with a ceiling on electricity and gas prices, immediate reduction of the fuel tax, as 18 other EU countries have done, immediate increase of the minimum wage to 800 euros to support households and the purchase and immediate reduction of VAT on basic foodstuffs.
