“One of the most valuable contributions Mr. Tsipras has made to the country is that, through his administration, he has debunked many of the myths we grew up with. One of them: that his political camp was exclusively in favor of the ‘poor and the powerless,’” claims Pavlos Marinakis.
Yesterday, in the SKAI documentary“To the Millimeter,”by E. Varvitsiotis and V. Dendrinos, former European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker laid it all out. According to him, as Europe and Greece were 380 million euros short of a deal, the then-Commission President proposed to Mr. Tsipras that shipowners be taxed instead of pensioners to secure the amount.
And what did the“protector of the weak”do? He chose to tax pensioners.
“No matter how hard Mr. Tsipras tries, by investing in empty rhetoric, to ‘bury’ his actions deep in the ground, the truth will follow him forever,” he concludes.
