Alexis Tsipras\u2019s return, proposals for social policy, and criticism of populism were at the center of Aris Portosalte\u2019s remarks. <\/p>\n
\u201cSocial policy is the state\u2019s responsibility\u201d<\/strong> <\/p>\n Aris Portosalte<\/strong>, speaking on the \u201cToday\u201d<\/strong> on SKAI<\/strong>, sharply criticized Alexis Tsipras<\/strong>, arguing that he is returning to the political forefront with the same \u201cideological obsessions<\/strong>\u201d and the same \u201cpopulism<\/strong>,\u201d without presenting a convincing plan for governance. <\/p>\n As he noted, the main problem is that the former prime minister and his political camp \u201chave nothing to say<\/strong>\u201d about how they will govern the country. According to the journalist, the proposals put forward do not answer the question of how government policy will be effectively implemented. <\/p>\n Aris Portosalte<\/strong> argued that social policy<\/strong> cannot be implemented by public enterprises or organizations, specifically citing Public Transportation <\/strong>and the Public Power Corporation<\/strong>. As he noted, responsibility for implementing social policy lies exclusively with the state<\/strong>, which collects tax revenues and decides how to allocate them. <\/p>\n In fact, he cited as an example the possibility of the state funding DEI<\/strong> with specific funds so that it can provide free electricity to citizens, emphasizing that in such a case, it would be clear that the cost is covered by citizens\u2019 taxes<\/strong> and not by the company itself. <\/p>\n Concluding his remarks, the journalist argued that the opposition has still not learned from previous years of governance, noting that beyond populism<\/strong>, the way in which it formulates its policy proposals is also problematic. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n Portosalte: \u201cTsipras is back with the same ideological obsession, the same populism. The problem is that he had nothing to say. They have nothing to say about how they would be prime ministers. Social policy isn\u2019t carried out by the public transportation company or the Public Power Corporation.
