The famous phrase “there is money” that accompanied the Greece memorandum, repeated from its podium Parliament former prime minister George Papandreou and addressing the government seats he said: “The problem is elsewhere, where are you going?”
Speaking about the budget debate in the Plenary Session of Parliament, George Papandreou attacked the government for its policies and said that it was justified in what it said in 2009-2010 about the changes that need to be made in Europe.
“With a 10-year delay, it begins to implement what I had proposed in 2009-10.” If they had adopted them then, Europe and Greece would have faced the problems with less pain but also with more substantial changes, “he said, adding : “Eurobonds and green bonds have become a reality. Proposals such as the taxation of stock exchanges, taxes on greenhouse gases (basically carbon dioxide) and the fight against tax havens were voted on by a majority of the European Parliament, but they remained there. Who was listening to us then? Europe is talking today of moving towards a new green social contract. And invest in it. That perspective is welcome. “
He called the government’s reform policy a “joke in bad taste” and noted that the 2021 budget, as well as the targeting of the Recovery Fund, should be dedicated to the transition towards sustainable development, cohesion and justice, towards a new completely different regularity.
“With the mobilization and participation of the Greek citizen in a dialogue for the future of the country, for the formation of a new vision of the country. This opportunity is lost. “The ‘discussion’ ends with the conclusion of the Pissaridis committee, which, even today, was not subjected to substantial consultation,” he said.
George Papandreou closed his speech by referring to ELSTAT and Mr. Georgiou, saying that “even today it is claimed that Georgiou, of ELSTAT, distorted the data for the 2009 budget. When you ignore the scientific documentation, but do you mean? When With their own data they managed to leave the asterisk of the Greek statistics in Eurostat. “Even today, when voting for the ND budget, it will be based on the data of this man who was persecuted as much as anyone else, simply because he did his job that it paid off in revealing simple truths. “
