Georgios Tzampazlis, Vice President of the Panhellenic Federation of Fuel Oil, urged the government to reconsider heating oil tax regulations in Thrace and border areas. He proposed direct subsidies at the pump rather than as heating allowances. Additionally, MP Burhan Baran from PASOK-KINAL pledged to address this issue in Parliament after the budget discussion, citing concerns for safety and environment following a tragic recent incident in Xanthi.
