PASOK’s Milena Apostolaki Advocates for Taxation of Bank Profits
Milena Apostolaki, a PASOK MP, has emphasized the need for a tax on bank profits exceeding four billion euros, arguing that it is a social and political necessity. She rebuffed claims that such taxation would destabilize the banking system, asserting that the banks have maintained healthy profits and liquidity. Apostolaki criticized the current government’s lack of regulatory oversight, urged for necessary reforms, and highlighted the critical issues of high fees and interest rates affecting consumers, while also addressing the broader economic implications on wages and cost of living.
