Intense reactions on social media provoked once again the Aris Portosalte, with what he said on Wednesday morning on the show "Today" on SKAI.
The topic of discussion on the show "Today" was the increases in fuel, just a few days after the position of the Deputy Minister of Finance, Theodoros Skylakakis, that a possible reduction in the tax would favor the rich since most of the poor do not have a car.
During the discussion on the price increases that exist in general, Aris Portosalte said regarding gasoline: "We will go to the words of Skylakakis. Gasoline will not be used by the man of 500 euros. The petrol, which we are protesting at 2 euros, is put by the productive units of the society… ", provoking the reaction of Phoebus Claudian who answered: "And the poor have a car. Mr. Skylakakis said a nonsense. "But an old but cheap car and the poor have a car and especially the heads of families".
At the time, Aris Portosalte said that his colleague was saying "The onslaught of populism", noting: "The man of 500 euros does not put fuel. He can not put, unfortunately the pensioner of 500 euros can not put. Can not. He takes a bus, the man of 500 euros can not travel like us by car. "My pardoned mother, who was receiving a pension of 500 euros, did not have a car, so how can I say that?"
