Specifically, the publication states the following:
“Every month, Greek Finance Minister Kostis Hatzidakis submits data on the management of the budget. German Finance Minister Christian Lindner is likely to be jealous of his Athenian counterpart’s latest figures. After all, the Greek state coffers are well full.
In the eight months, tax revenues exceeded the budget by 1.9 billion euros. This was almost 5% more than budgeted.
The additional revenue is due in part to the strong economy. The Greek economy grew by 2.3% in the second quarter. Eurozone countries achieved an average growth of only 0.6%. However, the high tax revenues are mainly due to the fact that Greece is successfully fighting tax evasion.
Greece also clashed with influential voter groups
For a long time, the efforts of the Greek governments to collect taxes seemed rather incomplete. All alliances avoided conflict with influential voter groups such as doctors, lawyers, businessmen and the self-employed.
Afterwards, conservative Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis stated that the fight against tax evasion is one of his priorities. “It’s working,” he happily posted on social media. The government proved that “the changes that many in Greece thought were impossible are being implemented”.
