The change in the government’s attitude towards the pandemic with its decision that seems to be final, that there will be no restrictive measures like the general quarantine we all experienced last year, sends a double message:
Firstly to the unvaccinated that they have no choice in order to live freely other than to be vaccinated and secondly to all those who have been waiting or pushing for the continuation of the bonus policy and the coverage of income losses, as has been the case for the last 18 months.
The message is now clear that “the economy will not close again to tackle the pandemic of the unvaccinated.”
What does all this mean besides the fact that the available European and national resources were exhausted, which were not few, close to 40 billion euros, in two years.
The country is heavily indebted, the State can no longer borrow to cover income losses when the economy is operating, and in fact it is recovering rapidly. And that “those that have” taxpayers and professionals can not postpone payments to the Tax Office, property tax EFKA, and banks for the future.
The same message was sent by the Independent Public Revenue Authority which announced that it activates the information system “Eispraxis” which will outline the profile of each debtor with information on his income and assets from Taxisnet, Icisnet, Elenxis and the banks.
The same system will then allow the automatic collection of debts in the context of the forced collection of debts through pledges, foreclosures, auctions of debtors’ assets that had been frozen since the 2019 European elections.
As for their bank auctions, they never froze. 16,800 have been announced since the beginning of the year. Through them, 6,500 properties changed hands, many of which ended up in the hands of banks, 10,250 were postponed and another 3,600 auctions will be held by the end of the year. But the big wave is coming in 2022.
