The left-wing party SYRIZA has issued a critical statement aimed at government spokesperson Vassilis Marinakis, commenting on his recent claims regarding energy price increases. They argue that Marinakis misleads consumers, who are experiencing significantly higher energy bills. SYRIZA further challenges the government’s economic policies and urges greater accountability regarding the financial struggles of ordinary citizens, particularly in light of the cost of living in Athens. They also question the government’s developmental goals amid declining performance in EU economic indicators.
