From Chioswhere he addressed an assembly of his friends and voters PASOK, Nikos Androulakis went on the counterattack and responded to the ND’s harsh criticism of its tax reform proposals.
“They say we want tax on the most powerful. Is it unfair? In which European country do the strong not pay more than the weak? I want to write them down, in particular, one after the other. We are complaining because Tax-free parental benefit cap of €4.8 million, let’s take 400,000 per parent, i.e. only 800,000. Can you tell me? There is a middle-class parent or a weak Greek who has a fortune to pass on to his children. 4.8 million euros Mr Mitsotakis? Who is affected by this injustice? The people or your oligarch friends? he pointed out.
As for them dividend holders, stressed: “Mr. Mitsotakis’ new ally, Mr. Skertsos, argues that PASOK’s dividend tax policy is unfair, hurts the middle class and de-Hellenizes the Greek economy. The new democracy imposed 5% flat tax rate on dividends. Whether you have 10,000 dividends or 70,000 or 2 million. Let me give you an average example: A dividend of 70,000 euros. To understand populism and how the media support Mr. Mitsotakis in the attacks they are making against us today, tax on dividends from 3500 to 4500. Per thousand Mr. Schertsos, will the Greek economy be de-Hellenized, or will it be de-Hellenized from -for the fact that you sold bad loans to funds and the crows are blackmailing the Greek people, small and medium-sized enterprises, agricultural cooperatives? This is the danger of the de-Hellenization of the Greek economy and unfair social-democratic taxation. That’s why, for now. Finally a tax policy where the few profit at the expense of the middle class!”
He blamed ND for his height accuracy and without taxing them excess profit enterprises.
“In 2022, when the prices of milk and bread were galloping, 150 public companies have tripled their profits, Mr. Mitsotakis, at the expense of the Greek people, not in the interests of economic and social justice. And what did you do with it? Nothing. 2/3 of state revenues are indirect taxeswhich primarily affect the middle class and the weakest. Inequality persists. Mr. Mitsotakis has saddled the Greek people with another 50 billion euros of debt. Greeks are third from the bottom in the European Union in terms of purchasing power, and the country’s trade deficit is the largest since 2010,” he said.
Referring to assessment of the results of the May 21 electionshe turned to SYRIZA and said decisively: “I want to say something to the gentlemen of SYRIZA: it’s the fault, as they say, KKE And PASOK why the card turned blue The reason for this is the simple analogue that they brought. I would like to remind Mr. Tsipras that in 2019 the card was also blue, not only in the national, but also in the regional elections. If not Stavros Arnautakis New Democracy will have 13 Regions in Crete, Mr. Tsipras, so you don’t sell seaweed for silk ribbons. In recent years, you have made the map blue because of populism and division. And we have come to make it green and democratic, to give real hope to all Greek women and all Greeks.”
call them democratic citizens support PASOK-KINAL. “Mr. Mitsotakis is pleased with SYRIZA, but now PASOK is here, a united, strong, real alternative force against the right, and I call on every democrat, every progressive citizen, to rely on this historic movement to have a real opponent. The New Democracy, Not Its Golden Sponsor.
For Greek-Turkish he stressed: “The European partners must commit themselves – and this is the national struggle of all parties – that no European state sells a single bullet to Turkey. This nation cannot pay billions for armaments instead of spending that money on health care, education and the welfare state. We want a Europe of peoples, solidarity and a common foreign policy. Europe European army, European borders. This means a united Europe, not a Europe of markets and governance, as our founder Andreas Papandreou used to say.”
Finally, referring to immigrant refugee, noted, “The solution is one, and it is institutional: change Dublin.” Mr. Mitsotakis says little about this because he knows that the People’s Party’s conservative Europe is the one that, through the Austrian presidency, “frozen” the “Dublin Reform” talks.
