“The energy exchange is a European issue, prices are centrally set,” Minister of Development and Investment Adonis Georgiadis told Parapolitika 90.1 FM, answering a relevant question. In particular, the minister accused main opposition SYRIZA of attempting to construct a narrative centered on the energy crisis, while for the adjustment clause he explained that it does not exist for those who have asked for a fixed tariff on the energy companies.
At the same time, referring to the e-consumer platform, he said that one can find better prices, while he stressed that the controls are continuous while fines are imposed on those who speculate. He also said that with the amendment voted in Parliament, the names of companies to which fines of more than 50,000 euros are imposed will be made public.
In relation to the minimum wage, he noted that there will be an increase, emphasizing that the minimum wage has an impact on companies. Finally, he estimated that the war in Ukraine will go on, saying that the government must save fiscal strength.
As concerns prices
Mr. Georgiadis during his visit to the Varvakeio Central Market today said: “As you can see the prices – and I want to congratulate the competent services and the Minister of Rural Development with whom we collaborated – have managed to be significantly lower than we expected. Everyone was talking about 15-16 euros (for lamb/kid) and as you can see the prices start at 8 euros and reach 12-14 euros for the best lamb. So we went far below the forecasts, in extremely difficult times, with a lot of work and a lot of controls. “
