In parliament, Tzakri expressed SYRIZA’s rejection of Hatzidakis’ recommendation. She insisted that their tax measures be presented as a regular bill in the Plenary, rather than at a special meeting. Costas Tasoulas, from the Parliament’s Presidium, argued that SYRIZA’s counter-proposal violates Article 73 of the Constitution, which prohibits any legislative proposal that would harm the state or public entities financially.

The State’s General Accounting Office estimates that SYRIZA’s tax measures could cost the country over 6 billion euros annually. While the head of SYRIZA’s finance department, Nikos Pappas, initially welcomed Hatzidakis’ suggestion, the Finance Minister’s call for a public discussion in the Economic Affairs Committee was met with skepticism by the opposition. Hatzidakis proposed a comprehensive evaluation of SYRIZA’s proposals by representatives of the State’s General Accounting Office, aiming to shed light on the financial implications. However, SYRIZA remains adamant in its stance, pushing for its proposals to be scrutinized in a regular parliamentary session.
