The press secretary of New Democracy<\/b> analyzes the government measures regarding accuracy<\/b> and income<\/b>, highlighting measures<\/b>, tax cuts <\/b>and political confrontation<\/b>.<\/p>\n
The government\u2019s agenda for the economy and the daily lives<\/b> of citizens is once again at the center of the political debate, as the New Democracy spokesperson, Alexandra Sdoukou<\/b>, outlines a framework of ongoing measures <\/b>aimed at boosting incomes and addressing the pressures of rising costs<\/b>. At a time when the cost of living remains one of the most burdensome issues for households<\/b>, the government is seeking to highlight a combination of tax relief<\/b>, market controls <\/b>, and wage increases as central policy pillars, while simultaneously noting that price trends<\/b> is significantly linked to international factors and that pressure on disposable income remains a complex and ongoing challenge<\/b> for economic policy<\/b>.<\/p>\n
In the review of the government\u2019s work<\/b>, as well as in all \u201cthe things the government is doing <\/b>in an effort to solve everyday problems<\/b>,\u201d on issues of income <\/b>and inflation, as well as on the opposition\u2019s allegations, the New Democracy spokesperson, Alexandra Sdoukou<\/b>, speaking today on ACTION 24, MEGA News, and ERTnews<\/b>.<\/p>\nThe report <\/h3>\n
Ms. Sdoukou initially referred to the report on the government\u2019s work, \u201cwhich comes as we mark the completion of three years in office.\u201d She emphasized that \u201cthe review is every government\u2019s minimum obligation to society; it is not meant for us to smugly pat ourselves on the back, but so that citizens can judge us on what we promised, what we\u2019ve done, and what remains to be done.\u201d<\/p>\n
He noted that \u201cthis is a major difference from the other parties, and especially from the Tsipras era, when not only did he fail to provide an accountability report, but he also tried to shift the blame for everything that happened onto everyone else.\u201d She further emphasized that \u201cnot only are we not afraid of being compared, but for us, the government\u2019s performance review is both a goal and a mark of credibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
The New Democracy spokesperson highlighted the government\u2019s and the party\u2019s ongoing engagement with citizens, emphasizing that \u201cthe prime minister and party officials\u2014not just during the election campaign but always\u2014have been and continue to go on tours and visit cities to listen to citizens\u2019 concerns. Both Kyriakos Mitsotakis and our party officials, on every tour and in every interaction with citizens, listen, take notes, take action, and provide solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n
Referring to the pressing issue of the cost-of-living crisis, Ms. Sdoukou acknowledged that \u201cinflation is the number one issue; a large part of this inflation is imported, caused by international crises, and it erodes citizens\u2019 income, but the fight against it is an ongoing effort, and we are constantly adding more and more tools.\u201d<\/p>\n
She pointed out that \u201cwe\u2019re cutting taxes so people see more money in their pockets; we\u2019ve capped profit margins; and through strict market oversight, we\u2019re trying to tackle it\u2014 which is exactly why we established the new independent authority that conducts ongoing inspections and imposes fines.\u201d Ms. Sdoukou noted that \u201cthe government has adopted a package of measures worth 800 million euros that provides 150 euros per child to families, as well as support for the middle class and retirees.\u201d At the same time, \u201cwe managed to keep electricity prices in check despite the war; prices remained stable on coastal ferries as well, and we provided subsidies to farmers for fertilizer purchases to prevent future increases in food prices.\u201d<\/p>\n
He noted that \u201cthis doesn\u2019t mean we don\u2019t understand that the problem persists; when you go to the checkout and see the prices, no matter what we say about economic indicators, the reality is difficult. But the truth is that there are no magic solutions that can tackle inflation with a single law or provision. That is why we are continuously increasing citizens\u2019 incomes through wage hikes and tax cuts; that is why we have raised the minimum wage and the average wage.\u201d<\/p>\n
The New Democracy press secretary also responded to statements by representatives of Tsipras\u2019s party regarding \u201cbetter days\u201d under his administration, reminding them that \u201cBack then, with Varoufakis and Tsipras\u2019s signatures, banks were closing and citizens were waiting in line for a few euros. Today you\u2019ve forgotten all that and are calling the imposition of 30% taxes on the middle class a \u2018pro-people\u2019 policy, and how you saddled us with 100 billion from a third, unnecessary memorandum.\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked about the \u201cLeave\u201d letter, Ms. Sdoukou emphasized that these are his personal views, adding, however, that we must all remember that \u201cNew Democracy ultimately always stands united behind a single line. Each of us, regardless of our political influence, must not forget that we serve this party. Its history and significance are greater than our personal beliefs. This awareness helps us express ourselves with greater restraint.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
