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)
