PM Tsipras to Alpha TV: Tax relief and bonus measures are not election handouts
EUROKINISSI
The popular measures introduced by the government are permanent and not campaign handouts, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Monday evening, in an extensive interview on Alpha TV station's main newscast.
National elections will be held as expected in October, and the measures had been announced at the Thessaloniki International Fair in September 2018, Tsipras said in response to opposition criticism that he is currying favour with voters ahead of the May 26 local government elections.
Measures include a payback scheme for outstanding debts to the social security funds and tax bureau and a bonus to pensioners, among others.
