Finance Minister Mr. Hadzidakis, ND's MEP candidate appears more boldly in the broadcasts. (otherwise a journalist) and other media and states that the average net increase for civil servants in 2024 will be 1,425 euros. He says that all the employees in the state were not ashamed when they got their pay slips and saw the mockery with their own eyes.
Fourteen years later, our salaries have been cut by 40%, gifts have been abolished, 2% solidarity tax has been imposed, the two-year 16-17 freeze has been cut, tax exemptions have been cut, the government is fueling with crumbs its income policy and leading public sector workers into poverty and destitution.
