According to him, even this is “the standard taxation of excess refinery profits, which is expected to reach three billion. for 2022, this will be done at the lowest rate proposed by the European Commission, and will be treated not as a tax, but as an expense.”

“Like the charitable donations that many rich people make, not out of love for people, but out of a need to show large expenses so that taxes can be deducted, the amount of money they will pay,” he said characteristically, referring to “a policy that led us to a crisis” and which “will lead us to a crisis again”.

“Client state, direct orders, uncontrolled and unregulated market operation, tax breaks for the powerful, horizontal tax looting for many, especially with flat VAT and VAT during a period of unprecedented inflation and incentives,” added Mr. Tsipras, while noting that even “the infamous level of investment that has been set as the central economic goal by Mr. Mitsotakis and has been valid since the first half of 2020” has not been achieved.
