The head of MeRA25, Janis Varoufakis, described the state budget for 2023, which is being discussed in parliament, as “the cornerstone of the government’s poisonous lies,” stressing that the “success story” narrative has failed because the economic data itself refutes it. , but also because it was rejected by Greek society itself, brought by the government to economic suffocation.

Mr. Varoufakis called the investment the government is celebrating a “scam,” arguing that “nearly all investments made are in real estate, which, when blown up, destroys productive activity.”

“When they burst, who has seen a god and has not been afraid of him?” They will pull the public and private sectors even deeper into the black hole of bottomless debt. Until then, however, you will be excluded from the Foundation. Throw away the investments you admire. Serious, patient investors do not come to Greece because they know that in 2030-32 the state treasury will be moaning from payments to the troika and therefore there will be new negotiations, new measures, new preconditions and, consequently, new taxes, while insurance will require more public money. That is a combination of public debt, a new channel of bad loans and an insurance gap.

All this guarantees the bottom of a permanent bankruptcy of Greece, excessive taxation, withdrawal of investments and, of course, the continued flight of young people,” Mr. Varoufakis emphasized. He warned that “now that the ECB is moving from quantitative easing to quantitative tightening, you will see what will happen to the real estate bubbles you’re celebrating.”

Mr. Varoufakis also sharply criticized the government’s energy policy, arguing that Mr. Mitsotakis once vetoed the EU, not to support citizens – even suspending energy exchanges – but in favor of the right of shipowners to continue transporting Russian oil, collecting the benefits that the veto gave them.”

Mr. Varoufakis also attacked the governments of SYRIZA and PASOK for signing memorandums with the ND, “thus suffocating Greek society.”

“You, all the memos, doomed citizens to a permanent rut, constant anxiety about how they will survive, and constant humiliation, which is 100% due to the institutionalized profiteering of your leaders. Everywhere and always the capitalist state protects capital. But the memoirists have finished,” he said characteristically.

He also said that “through the market for bad loans and the exchange of energy, citizens are doomed to humiliation and dependence on service organizations and electricity suppliers, to liquidate their homes and shops and their jobs.”

“After you threw them into the arena of obscenity, like the Romans threw Christians to the lions, you passionately indulge in subsidized populism, which sometimes, as in the case of the 600, becomes racist subsidized populism, you also give them something every time, when you feel that you like it, like a ruler who appeases the hungry by giving them here and there a loaf of bread, said Mr. Varoufakis and added:

“You are the only government in your time that managed to reduce debt as a percentage of GDP while running a huge primary deficit.

Miracle; Of course not. Marauding! Why did you manage to reduce it by indebtedness and oppression of the people, citizens, many.”

“Now, a sip before the elections, you come to do black and white, with the Budget, which, despite the fact that it was written not to implement, but to embellish the ugliness of the existing mitsotakisism, manages to codify the class hatred of Mitsotakis A.E. to any public good that has not been encroached upon, every labor protection that has not been repealed, every environmental value that has not been cemented, and every news or youth that has not submitted to your abomination,” concluded Mr. Varoufakis.
