Alexis Tsipras unleashed harsh criticism of the government for its handling of the pandemic front and especially on the issue of the case registration system, the lack of information, but also the Prime Minister’s bike ride in Parnitha today from the Parliament floor.
In his position on the draft law of the Ministry of Environment and Energy “Modernization of the Legislation of Spatial Planning and Urbanism”, the leader of the official opposition also presented two amendments and brought two more to Parliament.
Alabama. Tsipras was particularly sharp on the issue of the dual case registration system and successive denials from Sunday until today’s admission of St. Piel.
“Whether or not we would have resignations from competent ministers and those who were quick to hide the truth,” asked the SYRIZA president, noting that “the responsibility lies with the prime minister himself.”
“Parallel to the recording system, parallel to the universe, which many times gives the impression that you are,” he said and continued: “it brings out a hypocritical and scandalous image of you.”
Alabama. Tsipras also accused the government of “criminal inaction and incompetence” and said the health crisis was “turning into a nightmare.” “Mr. Mitsotakis makes his representative lie by refusing to publish the minutes of the infectious diseases committee,” he said, among other things, and stressed that “the courtyard of Megaro Maximos pretends that nothing is happening.”
“He seems to break the quarantine and without measures to do havale, many kilometers from his home. This is the image that it presents to the public, whether it is presented by the 9 bulletins or not, “he later said about the Kyriakos Mitsotakis walk in Parnitha, in violation of the restrictive measures due to the coronavirus, but also because of the way that the government handled it. .
“The worst of all is not that he broke the quarantine, the worst of all is that you responded to this scare. “Instead of apologizing, he came out winning,” said the SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance president. “With these statements from your ministers, you are a government full of Luis and Marie Antoinette. “You are not a government of Athens, you are a government of Versailles,” he said characteristically.
“Those who condemn you are not from Syriza, they are citizens who believed in you,” he said.
Four amendments
Alabama. Tsipras submitted an amendment requesting that the minutes of the Committee on Infectious Diseases be made public. “Discuss why you don’t publish them,” he said.
He also introduced an amendment to pay immediately for shifts that have been performed from July 1 to today, in order to “stop this disgrace with unpaid shifts in the NSS.”
He also reiterated the amendment on the reconnection of electricity and the prohibition of power, water, and telephone cuts to population groups affected by the pandemic.
Finally, he resubmitted the amendment on support measures for people with disabilities, which provides, among other things, for a double disability allowance in December. “We ask you to answer why you are voting against them,” he said.
You are blackmailing small and medium properties
He also harshly criticized Kostis Hatzidakis for the bill under discussion. “Again, he is legislating on behalf of a small minority, because again he is targeting the middle class, the small property, that is, the vast majority of citizens,” said Al. Tsipras.
The SYRIZA president criticized the government especially for the electricity increases.
“The cost of electricity for PPC customers was increased by approximately 20%, and it was charged to society, households and companies, with about half a billion euros a year. “The increase in PPC fees pushed its constant customers to ‘run away’ to its competitors and kept competitors’ profits high as PPC has a dominant position in the market,” he said, among other things.
“Ultimately, citizens and companies are paying, according to Eurostat data for the first half of 2020, for electricity 8.38% more expensive than in the second half of 2019, which puts several countries in the situation relevant, “said the chief of staff. opposition.
Continuing with the criticisms, he also referred to the spatial provisions, saying that “a violent redistribution of land is being attempted to the detriment of small and medium-sized owners and to the benefit of some of the real estate and construction sectors, who will benefit “.
He then denied that the government was putting an end to the unplanned construction: “A lie. There is no arrangement to remove the building off plan. Because the bill allows construction on large parcels of more than 4 acres and even increases construction fees at some tourist facilities. It even gives you a grace period, blackmailing property owners in off-plan areas, to build with a permit in 2 years and construction in the next 4 years, with the threat of a ban construction afterwards. In the financial crisis to get licenses and build? “Its aim is to force small and medium-sized owners to liquidate their property,” said the opposition leader, adding:
“And turn a blind eye to 5 to 10 large groups to do a job to the detriment of society as a whole. You say, put the money for investment, build hotels of more than 15,000 square meters and sell the houses that will constitute 40 % of the area, the cost of the investment will come out ”.
“No government has thought of doing that. You are blackmailing small and medium-sized properties. With the aim of redistributing land to the powerful. And it is tearing down the whole undercurrent of the rule of law. And of course all the positive cuts we had launched.” .
