A series of measures to protect incomes from inflation is recommended by presidential candidate Andreas Mavroyiannis, stressing that inflation seems to be heading towards double digits, with the loss of income for households reaching "historic levels", he says.
"Compared to June 2021, a 1,000 euro salary is worth 904 euros this year," Mavroyiannis said in a statement, noting that oil products have increased by 46% and electricity by 40%, compared to last year.
"The abolition of double taxation on fuel and the imposition of a cap on excise duty are some of the tools that the government should use to alleviate the additional financial burdens that are increasingly being placed on the low and middle income strata." it continues, adding that the reintroduction and extension of the ATA and the adjustment of benefits to vulnerable groups "will give a breathing space to our fellow citizens who are already on the verge of poverty and social exclusion".
