The tax burden which the Greeks will be called to pay will be heavy and statements by ministers on supposed improvements in taxation are “imaginative scenarios”, Potami party said in a statement on Monday.

“Mr. [Alexis] Tsipras’ lies evaporated even before the ink on the election result had dried,” Potami said in a statement. “There should not be any illusions; the tax bill will be heavy. More cuts will be imposed on pensions and wages.”

The party also criticized the government for allowing its ministers to spread “imaginative scenarios” about new tax breaks, knowing that the truth is quite different. The new deal signed by the prime minister, Potami said, includes the elimination of most tax exemptions from income tax, the harmonization of farmers’ taxation with that of the self-employed, the abolition of discounts on oil and the tax increase in rents.
