      ”The government has reduced the rate of income tax for workers both last year and again this year.. Income tax was cut by a total of about 200 million euros, with an emphasis on easing the burden on low- and middle-income earners.”

      This is bollocks. Largest beneficiaries of these tax cuts are people earning 8000€/month or more.

      I would advise everyone read this book:

      ***Austerity: The History of a Dangerous Idea*** is a 2013 book by [Mark Blyth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Blyth) that explores the [economic policy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_policy) of [austerity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austerity). Studying the use of austerity around the world up to the early 2010s and tracing its intellectual lineage, Blyth argues that the case for [increasing economic growth through austerity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansionary_fiscal_contraction) is overstated, is counterproductive when implemented during recessions, and has exacerbated the [European debt crisis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_debt_crisis).[^([1])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austerity:_The_History_of_a_Dangerous_Idea#cite_note-1) *Austerity* was selected among the *Best Books of 2013* in reviews by the [*Financial Times*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Times)[^([2])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austerity:_The_History_of_a_Dangerous_Idea#cite_note-FT-20131129-2) and [*Bloomberg News*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloomberg_News).[^([3])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austerity:_The_History_of_a_Dangerous_Idea#cite_note-Bloomberg-20131213-3)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austerity:_The_History_of_a_Dangerous_Idea

      The way forward is wildcat strikes and bringing the government to its knees.
