Alexis Tsipras has accused Paulos Marinakis<\/b> of an “absence of any moral barrier” regarding the latter’s statements today on the operation and profitability of banks<\/b>. <\/p>\n
“His (i.e. Alexis Tsipras’s<\/b>) post today on banks goes beyond the limits of audacity,” government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis stressed, recalling that since taking office in 2015 he “dissected the country’s credit system at the expense of businesses and the economy and imposed capital controls<\/b>“. “With his irresponsibility and the absence of any moral barrier that characterize him, Alexis Tsipras is a walking danger for the country: the danger of returning to a discussion about the past,” Pavlos Marinakis stressed. “His only contribution to the public debate is to reflect every time he speaks on what we have escaped from<\/b>,” Pavlos Marinakis pointed out. <\/p>\nThe post by government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis<\/h3>\n
In a recent interview, Alexis Tsipras may have stated that “he is not the same Tsipras”, but his post today on banks goes beyond the limits of audacity. <\/p>\n
The politician who as prime minister closed Greek banks, broke up the country’s credit system at the expense of businesses and the economy and imposed capital controls, sending pensioners to the queues of shame, now wants to present himself as a “sanitizer” and protector of the weak. <\/p>\n
Tsipras, who promised “seismic relief” for borrowers and was elected on the slogan “no house in the hands of a banker”, was the one who, when he came to power, handed over red loans to funds, even allowed electronic auctions, and in February 2019 abolished the protection of first homes across the board. <\/p>\n
And yet, Tsipras returns to the issue of banks. And he does so not just as if none of this has happened, but with his only self-criticism being that he should have closed the banks on the first day he won the election in January 2015. <\/p>\n
In the face of Mr Tsipras’ dangerous populism and demagoguery, the government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis is responding with actions that support the economy and our weakest citizens. Bank commissions for basic transactions have been abolished. <\/p>\n
With the IRIS system, citizens and professionals can carry out free transactions without any charges. In addition, through the out-of-court settlement, more than 60,000 arrangements have already been made for a total of \u20ac18.6 billion in debts, with significant reductions in burdens and debt haircuts for debtors. The measures recently announced by the government reduce the threshold for joining the out-of-court settlement from \u20ac10,000 to \u20ac5,000 so that hundreds of thousands of small debtors will also benefit. <\/p>\n
And finally, for the first time, debtors applying for a settlement on the out-of-court mechanism platform will be able to separate their main residence from the rest of their property, acting as an effective “second chance” for debtors. <\/p>\n
With his irresponsibility and lack of any moral barrier, Alexis Tsipras is a walking danger for the country: the danger of returning to a debate about the past. His only contribution to the public debate is to reflect every time he speaks on what we have escaped from. <\/p>\n
However, from 2019 onwards, our citizens have chosen us to take on the real problems of the country, not the rearguard battles imagined by Mr Tsipras. Therefore, no matter how much his every public intervention insults the sacrifices of citizens and common sense, ultimately his rebranded presence ends up being irrelevant because he is tragically incompetent. <\/p>\n
