He said in particular about the amendment to reduce ENFIA that with the proposed regulation, lower and middle clbad citizens would benefit from a substantial reduction in the burden next year.

"Of the 5.8 million taxpayers who have badets encumbered by ENFIA, they will experience a decline of more than 5.5 million, or nearly 90% of taxpayers.

More precisely:

– For property up to 60,000 euros, the reduction will be 30%. This amount concerns nearly 3.5 million of our fellow citizens.

– For properties ranging from 60,000 to 100,000 euros, the decrease will be 21%. And that concerns 1 million citizens.

– For properties ranging from 100,000 to 150,000 euros, the reduction will be close to 10%. And that concerns about 600,000 citizens ".

"- Homeowner 60 m² in Keratsini, a value of 60,000 euros will bring this year 157 euros instead of 224 euros, 67 euros less.

– Owner of 80 m² in Naples, Thessaloniki, worth 76,000 euros, will pay 162 euros instead of 232 euros, 70 euros less.

– Owner of a 100 m² residence in Peristeri, worth 90,000 euros, will pay 211 euros instead of 290 euros, or 79 euros less ".

"We are moving forward with a clear, focused and thoughtful clbad orientation for large numbers, a clbad unilateralism of 5.5 million, while your own unilateralism refers to an elite few, eminent", said the Prime Minister, adding: "The aforementioned cuts add an additional 20% weight that we have planned and that we have secured the financial area – this is already expected in the medium term for 2020".
