PASOK PASOK wants to promise measures without cost estimates<\/b>, as evidenced by the statement by Pavlos Geroulanos.<\/p>\n
Charilaou Trikoupi\u2019s silence regarding Pavlos Geroulanos\u2019s statements on the cost estimates for the measures could be interpreted as an acceptance of his refusal as well as of the justificationshe invoked to support his refusal.<\/p>\n
Specifically, Pavlos Geroulanos stated: \u201cSo today, nine years ago, Mr. Mitsotakis said that the current economic model we have is bad, that it needs to be changed, and that he has the money to change it. That\u2019s what Mr. Mitsotakis said. He got the money. Did he change it? No. \u201cHe\u2019s the last person who has the right to call me out on what I say I\u2019ll give to citizens, since I\u2019m the one who\u2019s going to change the economic model<\/b>.\u201d<\/p>\n
And he added: \u201cYou should have had measures that tackle inflation; you should have had a model development <\/b> model that meets the needs of the middle and lower classes today. Since you failed, you\u2019re the last person who has the right to tell me how much what I\u2019m proposing costs.\u201d<\/p>\n
He concluded by saying that \u201cthe government comes along and says, \u2018Calculate the cost.\u2019 By what criteria? I refuse to do so until the elections.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n
In other words? Does PASOK want to promise whatever it wants and whatever comes to mind without stating how much each measure will cost and, above all, where it will find the money to finance it? <\/b>Does that mean it wants to copy the Thessaloniki program of Alexis Tsipras<\/b> without providing any accountability? Under the pretext that he\u2019ll have a different development model? <\/p>\n
And if that\u2019s the case, when will he implement what he\u2019s promising? When his\u2026 development model starts to pay off? The one that no one knows about and that, so far, has been described in terms of supporting society and taxing the wealthy, cracking down on cartels, and other such pleasantries\u2014just as George Papandreou<\/b> used to say, along with his famous \u201cthere is money\u201d claim that ended up in\u2026 Kastellorizo and the first memorandum?<\/b><\/p>\n
What Pavlos Geroulanos said may not be PASOK\u2019s official position. The party headquarters at Harilaou Trikoupi Street should logically deny it. Otherwise, it will become the official position of the party\u2014even if only as a dig\u2014 of the official opposition <\/b> that claims to have an alternative proposal. A proposal that citizens need to know where it will lead and how much it will cost them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
