To balance the social discontent caused by labor disruptions due to the pandemic, the government wants and in this context includes the abolition of the “solidarity fee” by 2021 for private sector employees.
For those who do not have a stable income
Following yesterday’s reports from Kyriakos Mitsotakis on the private sector, or Stelios Petsas When asked why the measure to abolish the solidarity tax is not extended to retirees or civil servants, it was clear.
“The solidarity contribution has a particularity. We have its abolition for people affected by the crisis. “

The government spokesman, however, clarified that the government chooses to abolish the solidarity contribution for private sector workers, the self-employed and farmers since “they do not have stable income or have seen their income fall due to the coronavirus pandemic.”
Until the end of the four years
In this context, Mr. Petsas added that this category does not include public sector employees and retirees, and even implying the return of retroactive ones after the CoE decision, Mr. Petsas said that “we serve retirees with other interventions, in order to stimulate their income. “
However, Mr. Petsas emphasized that he remains in the Prime Minister’s intention to fulfill his commitment to completely abolish the solidarity contribution within four years.
“But, the Government chooses to move more quickly to the employees of the private sector, the self-employed, the farmers,” said the government spokesman, adding:
“I repeat, however, that your commitment is valid Prime Minister for gradual progress towards the total abolition of the solidarity fee before the end of the four-year period. “
Middle class
At the same time, the so-called middle class returns to the rhetoric of the government, with Mr. Petsas repeating the 12 meters of Mr. Mitsotakis’s ads, characteristically saying:
“The middle class is finally taking a deep breath.”
As Petsas said, the total network of government initiatives for the economy amounts to about 7 billion euros and together with the 3 billion to strengthen the liquidity of banks they are “a brave and ambitious package of about 10 billion euros, that is, more than from 5 units of GDP “.
“A package capable of giving a strong boost to the Greek economy in the next period. It is clear that, without lagging behind, the emphasis is on support to the world of work, especially in the private sectorand in relieving the middle class of the fiscal burden ”, stressed the government spokesman.
