Hoti: The government had to remove the excise on oil, today the price per litre would be 1.30 euros.

Hoti said prices have grown greatly and that the only measure undertaken by the executive to ease the crisis is the limit of the price of oil.

According to him, if this measure was forwarded with the temporary removal of the excise and by half VAT in oil, the price of oil today would be about 1.30 euros per litre.

This measure alone would ease the burden for citizens. The next missing mass is an increase in the list of VATed goods halved by 8%, as the law in force for VAT” has written Hoti on Facebook.

In addition, it has said budget revenues have increased markedly due to price hikes, in particular goods prices from import.

The fact that around 2/3 of the budget meets at the border is clear where the growth of budget revenues has come from. Therefore, it is paradoxical for the Government to boast increased budget revenues”.

The Paradoxal “is the loan agreement in many of the 50m euros, which Government has brought for ratification to the Assembly three days ago. This loan, which aims to improve the government's banking balance, has no meaning in a situation when budget revenues have increased and the government's bank balance has been significantly improved.

According to him, this loan would only make sense if it was for a road or railway, for land irrigation, for plants or other capital projects, that improve the lives of citizens in the long run and that, subsequently, is paid in the long run by those who exploit the public good built on this loan.
