ELEFTHEROTYPIA

Government of Smog

 

We’re suffocating but they restrict themselves to recommendations and cheap talk instead of reducing the special consumption tax on heating oil.

The Government is sinking in Stournaras’s ‘swimming pools’.

Raising the vague fear of black market profiteers, cabinet ministers are refusing to provide relief to millions of Greeks who are suffocating in the smog by reducing the special consumption tax on heating oil. Instead, they are restricting themselves to recommendations, cheap talk and regulations which are almost impossible to police. “Take this heating subsidy, we even offer it for swimming pools,” finance minister Yannis Stournaras suggests instead, provoking a strong reaction from the opposition but also 41 New Democracy MPs. Meanwhile professors from the University of Thessaloniki are calling for emergency measures to be taken as the pollution from wood-fires reaches dangerous high levels. The only hope is a change in the weather from today.

DIMOKRATIA

Yiannis Stournaras falls into… a swimming pool!

The Finance Minister’s recent comments regarding heating oil and the smog problem provoke angry reactions from many, including ND MPs.

His sidelining is currently being discussed in the prime minister’s mansion. Panicked, the heartless technocrat disputes something that is not up to him to decide.
