Government sources on Androulakis’ announcements at the Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF): He revived failed recipes with green “money trees”; we doubt he actually wants elections

Government sources impeach PASOK president Nikos Androulakis of uncosted proposals successful effect to his announcements astatine the Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF).

As government sources point out, the person of the opposition, “instead of a ‘programmatic plan,’ Mr. Androulakis, from the TIF podium, revived the failed recipes of the past with ‘green wealth trees’ and ‘unfunded’ promises.”

They stress that “PASOK’s uncosted proposals interruption the EU’s fiscal rules since they transcend the spending ceiling, which means they would pb to surveillance, taxation increases, and austerity measures.”

In detail, authorities sources stated:
Instead of a “programmatic plan,” Mr. Androulakis from the TIF podium revived the failed recipes of the past with “green wealth trees” and “unfunded” promises.

Instead of alternate proposals, the PASOK president described the fastest roadworthy backmost to the ordeals of the past, which citizens person paid for dearly.

PASOK’s uncosted proposals interruption EU fiscal rules since they transcend the spending ceiling, which means they would pb to surveillance, taxation increases, and austerity measures.

Faced with PASOK’s irresponsible promises, the authorities is implementing with seriousness and work the large taxation betterment announced by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis astatine the TIF, worthy €1.76 billion, with taxation cuts that volition bring income increases to employees, pensioners, freelancers, and farmers, arsenic good arsenic generous alleviation focused connected families, young people, Greece’s regions, and our borderline islands.

Mr. Androulakis adds measures amounting to respective cardinal euros and truthful proposes a implicit fiscal derailment, which with mathematical certainty would pb our state into an enhanced surveillance regime, adopting populist practices that constituent to a “green SYRIZA.”

Just the outgo of reinstating the 13th wage successful the nationalist sector, amounting to €1.35 billion, is capable to propulsion the state into an excessive shortage process since it comes connected apical of the already announced measures. The authorities alternatively chose wage increases successful some the nationalist and backstage sectors done reduced deductions, which, particularly for families with 3 oregon much children, pb to an summation of much than 1 wage per moving parent.

Regarding the simplification of VAT connected basal goods erstwhile again projected by PASOK, the outgo for nutrient unsocial astatine a 6% complaint (down from 13%) is astir €1 billion. Mr. Androulakis should look astatine what happened successful Spain, wherever the measurement was applied temporarily and past withdrawn due to the fact that the payment did not scope the last consumer. At the precise least, helium should work the Bank of Greece study, which shows that lone 19% of the measurement would really scope citizens. For this reason, the authorities chose nonstop enactment for citizens done the simplification of nonstop taxation, which from January 1st volition pb to income increases for workers successful some the nationalist and backstage sectors arsenic good arsenic pensioners.

Mr. Androulakis discovered that Greece is diverging from the remainder of Europe, erstwhile successful information it is converging successful per capita GDP, income, backstage consumption, unemployment reduction, and employment growth.

He spoke astir the request for the digitalization of the state, evidently due to the fact that helium does not usage Gov.gr, wherever nationalist services person already been digitized for the payment of citizens.

Faced with PASOK’s sweeping and irresponsible logic, citizens cognize that Greece is moving guardant with seriousness and work nether the authorities of Kyriakos Mitsotakis, which is implementing a broad programme for the country’s improvement and progress.

We uncertainty whether Mr. Androulakis truly means what helium says astir elections, which, arsenic the Prime Minister has repeatedly stressed, volition beryllium held successful 2027. By then, the PASOK president volition beryllium legally obliged to contiguous a due and costed program, not today’s vagueness with unfunded promises.
