His press office began corrective intervention PASOKtarget put an end to the ongoing discussion about the prospect of increasing ENFIAafter the relevant report of the party’s candidate for parliament, Stefanos Parastatidis.

“PASOK-Movement for Change does not mention an increase in ENFIA anywhere in its program. Our position is its gradual reduction. With priority to protect the weakest Greeks and the middle class. How do we propose for taxes that mainly affect the middle class and the vulnerable, such as indirect tax cuts, wage cuts, and tax cuts for families with children.”

In Harilau Trikoupi outrage was caused by the nomination of a candidate for deputy and, in general, by interference not included in the party program. “Direct taxes that are about parental inheritance tax, real estate tax, that’s ENFIA, that’s taxes that are mostly on property owners, those are taxes that should be withheld, and taxes that should be reduced are indirect taxes,” he said in response to a related question (OPEN).

Parastatides’ statement followed the candidates’ statements on the state ballot. Panagiotis Dudonis and Elenis Chronopoulou, on the taxation of dividends distributed to companies. However, although some of the wording of them was considered unfortunate, a proposal for progressive taxation of dividends exists in the party’s program, spokesman Dimitris Manzos clarified.

Mention of Stefanos Parastatides in the perspective of his growth LIGHT they found themselves outside the program positions in the economy. In addition to the irrelevance of the statements and the impressions created, Harilau Trikoupi is concerned that party officials appear to be “unreadable” in terms of the main parameters of the program. In fact much more that the pre-election debate during this period was focused on economic issues.

Mr. Parastatidis himself, however, spoke in his post about the falsification of what he said. “Nowhere have I made a specific wording” strengthening ENFIA “. But what we mean by help refers to the tax on parental benefits. Because it is unfair not to tax parental benefits up to 4.8 million euros. Oh yes, taxing the rich, that’s what we’re talking about. And we persist,” he says characteristically.

Parastatides message:

“Editing

I read the “line” of N.D. in the media, regarding my participation in the OPEN morning show, I said that “we will strengthen ENFIA as PASOK”. They made the famous #montaziera induction because I was talking about increasing direct taxes and reducing indirect taxes, as this is due to the strengthening of ENFIA.

We are talking in principle about the need to change the ratio of direct and indirect taxes, with an increase in the former and a decrease in the latter. And it is not only we who say this as a party, it is said by the OECD, the EU. and all financial analysts in the country. ALL.

I have not given a specific wording “ENFIA strengthening” anywhere. But what we mean by help refers to the tax on parental benefits. Because it is unfair not to tax parental benefits up to 4.8 million euros. Oh yes, taxing the rich, that’s what we’re talking about. And we persist.

As regards, in particular, ENFIA, today no party is talking about its abolition. Because this is extreme populism, in addition to fiscal weakness. Our position on inheritance tax is to rationalize it (make it more fair to the poor), not to abolish it.

N.D. it seeks to create a political jungle in public debate through the mechanisms of reduction and distortion. So, would it be good if she answered us, if she, offering everything to everyone except the raises she ordered, abolished taxes altogether? Because he did something similar in 2008, when 65% of Greeks paid zero tax, more than three times the amount that bankrupted the country. And the bride was paid not by real officials, but by the Greek people.”
