Giannis Varoufakis, during the discussion on the effects of the pandemic.
Varoufakis referred to the predictions of him and his party, in debates held in Parliament months ago, on the effects of the pandemic and the preparation of the government for the second wave of the pandemic, to denounce the Prime Minister and the government in their set, what ignored submitted proposals. He added that all summer the government did nothing to prepare and noted that the government is no longer in control of the pandemic. Varoufakis accused the Prime Minister that “you decided not to prepare, not only because of incompetence or oligarchy, but because preparation required things that conflict with the interests of the parasitic oligarchy.” Furthermore, Varoufakis said:
“You have exhausted Public Health and left our people unprotected, so as not to harm the interests of all those rodents from the private sector that, with the onset of the pandemic storm, abandoned the ship of public health. You come here pretending to be in control of the situation. You do not have it. And the worst? Would you rather not get it, if to get it you have to harm the interests of mothers?».
Varoufakis spoke about the problems in the hospitals and the lack of personnel and equipment, while criticizing the government because, as he said, it has done nothing to create permanent and mobile teams to carry out the tests. He was also critical with the government’s decision to send tests from public hospitals to private centers with direct assignments and asked the prime minister to declare who is politically responsible for the untimely order for reagents, while the country’s borders are opened to tourists. Varoufakis asked the Prime Minister to apologize to the Greek people for ignoring “our urges to use the quarantine season to prepare, with the result that, 7 months later, we reached the point where the National Blood Donation Center exceeds limits of “.
Mr. Varoufakis was equally critical of the decisions made about the operation of the schools. He blamed the government, among other things, for doing nothing all summer in interior design of the corridors, securing individual desks, installing Plexiglas and conducting tests by mobile workshops in schools. He also attacked the government because “once again, you gave land and water to the xenophobic far right that you’re heating up at its peak“by planting the racist provision in this year’s proclamation for temporary janitors, which excludes foreigners whose children, of course, attend the same schools.”
Economy – Employees
Varoufakis devoted much of his speech to economic and labor issues. In particular, he accused the government that:
* Introduces for the first time in the chronicles of labor law, free work through mandatory, daily, unpaid overtime.
* Extends the abolition of the maximum limit of overtime.
* Refuses to extend the unemployment benefit for 2 months for those who expired the benefit June – July – August
* Postpone the minimum wage increase
* Extends the SYN-work program that provides salary reductions
* Reduce the Christmas gift (after the Easter gift).
Varoufakis accused the prime minister of having committed “to cut pensions and salaries, since he did not cut debts that the oligarchy does not want to hear.” The secretary of DAY 25, expressed opposition to new weapons programs and accused the government that “you seem willing for a long time not to let not only the economic pandemic go to waste, but also the tensions on the national issue, so that, together with doctors, funds and other rodents, cuts of hair against the weak to finance the arms dealers, especially, of course, the mediators. “
Regarding the recession, Varoufakis criticized the government that “theirs artificially cut the recession from 18% to 15%”, adding that “they managed to save the truth by subtracting inflation from the rate of change in GDP.”
Cut wages and pensions
The MERA 25 secretary predicted that “in mid-2021 I declare it to you so as not to say that I did not warn you, Eurostat will review the 2020 recession to -15%. The same occurs with the state budget deficit, which in 2020 will exceed 12% and will reach 15% of revised GDP ”. Then he estimated that the government would lead the country to a new memorandum “with cuts in pensions, public investment, salaries.” With new measures in favor of the parasitic oligarchy and reduction of popular income, with all the benefits that the Pissaridis Exhibition prepares the world to accept as the cost of the New Jerusalem of PPPs, of private mania and the decline in values. guaranteed by its deepening ”.
