SYRIZA anuncia o seu programa eleitoral

Tradução do Keep Talking Greece (versão completa em grego em PDF):

Some points of SYRIZA economic programme are:

1) Replacement of MoU with National Recovery Plan

2) Unemployment benefit to be restored to 461 euro and to be prolonged for two years. Unemployment benefit also for self-employed.

3) Cancellation of MoU-imposed flexible work contracts.

4) Suspending payment of interest rates until stable conditions apply.

5) Cancellation of “emergency taxes” first of all for jobless

6) Rich to pay more 4% for the next 4 years.

7) Gradual decrease of V.A.T. and VAT minimization for food

8) Immediate decrease of VAT in tourism and catering

9) Freezing of privatizations of public organizations like telephone company OTE, railways TRAINOSE, water company EYTHAP, electric company PPC (DEI), the post office.

10) Immediate ‘freezing’ of cuts in social benefits, salaries and pensions

11) Nationalization of banks under ‘public and transparent control’.

To raise revenue to pay for such measures Tsipras plans to confiscate property from those who fail to pay taxes; sign a bilateral agreement with Switzerland on the taxation of savings of Greek citizens there; a radical reform of the tax system to redistribute wealth; and the introduction of a National Programmatic Agreement to raise taxes from ship owners and the maritime industry

Further he announced change of the elections law and cancellation of 50-seats bonus, change in the law protecting ministers, mutual agreements with neighboring countries for the markation of EEZ.

He stated that he will propose to Turkey to stop the armament race and to Skopje a FYROM- solution for the name issue.

O programa parece-me menos radical do que, p.ex., o da "Aliança da Esquerda Unida" irlandesa (e têm pontos que só podem ir para a frente se outros países aceitarem); mas, no momento actual, deve ser o mais esquerda dos programaso dos grandes partidos (estou defenindo "grande partido" como "partido que é um dos dois maiores do seu país") europeus.
