Anavaloglou Georgios mentioned that Kyriakos Mitsotakis stated in Brussels on 16/10 that the government would not distribute money for political reasons. He contrasted the policies of other countries, saying that Italy planned to tax banks with a target of 5 billion euros in revenue by 2027, the Netherlands aimed to impose an extraordinary contribution of 617 million euros, and Austria would extend an additional contribution of 300 million euros for the same year. He added that Slovakia would maintain an increased tax rate for banks in 2027 as well. Regarding refineries, Anavaloglou said that Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Poland, and Austria had requested a windfall tax from the Commission, while Greece was not among those countries. He cited pre-tax profits of 1.998 billion euros for the two Greek refineries in the first half of 2026, compared to 210 million euros in the corresponding period last year: 891.7 million for Motor Oil and 1.106.4 million for HELLENiQ. He also referenced an interview on ERT on 17/9, where, according to him, Mitsotakis said he preferred money to be returned to citizens through fuel prices rather than collected by the state budget. Anavaloglou noted that the refineries received subsidies of 277 million euros, while the heating allowance increased by only 52 million euros compared to last year. He concluded that this was a political choice and raised the question of whether the Prime Minister sought to be popular with citizens or with those, as he wrote, who profited from the crisis and from whom he sought electoral support. #πολιτική #φορολογία #Ελλάδα (translated)

KatiApoZebra wrote that the spokesman of the Ministry of Finance boasted that 70% of households would receive the heating allowance. He mentioned that there are 4,332,000 households in the country, while the beneficiaries of the allowance are 1,170,000, which is 27%. He accused the authorities of lying and arrogance. #Οικονομία #Επιδόματα #Ελλάδα (translated)

The author of the post accused New Democracy of consciously leading the Greek people to misery. He said that the Prime Minister and his ministers would understand the citizens' pain if they spent the winter with heating oil at 1.55 euros, and described the government as oppressive towards the people. https://t.co/wZFsGBCkVV #ΝέαΔημοκρατία #Ελλάδα #Δικαιοσύνη #GR (translated)

The author argued that the Mitsotakis government chose half-measures for fuel inflation, subsidizing it with citizens' money and leaving, in his estimate, the super-profits of refineries unscathed. He also noted that the government made an announcement a few hours before the start of heating oil distribution. #ακρίβεια #καύσιμα #πολιτική #GR (translated)

Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced new support measures for the energy crisis, such as the increase in heating allowance and the reduction of oil prices, noting that the interventions will be reassessed according to international developments. #Μητσοτάκης #ενεργειακήκρίση #πολιτική (translated)

"We are proceeding with double support for heating oil, with a direct subsidy at the pump, which will immediately reduce the price, and with an increase in the heating allowance by 30% compared to last year, a measure that concerns hundreds of thousands of families throughout the territory." As Mr. Pierrakakis noted, "we are proceeding with double support for heating oil, with a direct subsidy at the pump, which will immediately reduce the price, and with an increase in the heating allowance by 30% compared to last year, a measure that concerns hundreds of thousands of families throughout the territory." #ΕπίδομαΘέρμανσης #Οικονομία #ΕνίσχυσηΝοικοκυριών (translated)

In a difficult international context, with the energy crisis testing the endurance of households around the world, our priority is to alleviate the pressure on families. That is why we are proceeding with dual support for heating oil through direct subsidies at the pump, which will immediately reduce the price, and with an increase in the heating allowance by 30% compared to last year. This measure affects hundreds of thousands of families across the country. An increase in the heating allowance by 30% was announced by the Minister of National Economy, Kyriakos Pierrakakis. #ΕπίδομαΘέρμανσης #ΠετρέλαιοΘέρμανσης #ΟικονομικήΣτήριξη (translated)
