PASOK-Movement for Change president, Nikos Androulakis, is visiting Santorini today.Meeting with the mayor of Thira, N. Zorzos, Mr. Androulakis noted that “economic development must go hand in hand with improving the lives of permanent residents”, so that they remain in their homeland, create, and keep the islands alive both in winter and in summer.As stated in a relevant announcement, he emphasized PASOK's plan, whose central principle is that public policies should be designed with special criteria for each island and not horizontally, so that the shortcomings in the sectors of education and health can be addressed.The proposal for VAT and infrastructure“We are designing a policy for VAT, which I think is fair”, he said, proposing the creation of a special account, where the revenues of each island arising from the difference between the reduced and the current VAT rate will be deposited.The goal, as he noted, is for these revenues “to return to each island for infrastructure in health, education, transport and the environment”.In addition, Mr. Androulakis pointed out that special tax incentives for processing investments are needed, in order to strengthen productive activity on the islands.“Our vision for every island in the Cyclades is for the three pillars of the primary sector, processing and tourism to gain added value, and thus to have many good jobs”, he said.The president of PASOK-Movement for Change, Nikos Androulakis, then visited the Santorini hospital and discussed with productive sector representatives.
