Nikos Pappa’s post in detail
“In economics, New Democracy and truth have never met.
Let’s look at four typical cases…
1. Employment: We are in 26th place in the EU. with only 67% employment in 2023. Half of the jobs are part-time. And, unfortunately, we are recording record numbers of deaths from workplace accidents.
2. Investments: Greece is last in the EU. in investments as a percentage of GDP with 15%. It is also in the last positions in exports.
3. Growth: In 4-year growth we are in 21st position with around 1.5% growth per year. A development for few, as we are last in purchasing power.
4. Taxes: Despite increasing tax revenues (over 40% since 2021) and VAT (over 50%), the ND government refuses to take relief measures for many.
The government cannot satisfy society and its needs.
Let him at least make an effort to find, at least once, the truth.”
