“One of the most valuable services that Mr Tsipras has provided to the country is that with his administration he has dispelled many of the myths we grew up with. One of them: that his political space was monopolistically in favour of the ‘poor and the weak’,” said government spokesman Pavlos Marinakis.
“Yesterday, in the SKAI documentary “In the Millionth”, by E. Varvitsiotis and V. Dendrinos, the former President of the European Commission Jan Claude Juncker said it all. According to him, and as Europe and Greece were 380 million short of an agreement, the then Commission President suggested to Mr Tsipras to tax shipowners instead of pensioners to secure the amount. And what did the “protector of the weak” do? He chose to tax pensioners,” Marinakis continued.
And he added: “No matter how much Mr Tsipras, investing in meaningless communication, tries to ‘bury’ his actions deep in the earth, the truth will follow him forever.”
