New poll – a “headache” for Maximos: 9 out of 10 want a reduction in VAT on food and 7 out of 10 note that accuracy is not being imported
According to the data of the GPO (on behalf of the radio station Parapolitika 90.1), 91% of the respondents want a reduction of VAT on food and basic foodstuffs, and 70.4% clarify that the import accuracy is only due to the distortion of Greece. economy.
55.1% believe that the lack of controls by the state and the dirty lucre of the companies are equally to blame. In fact, a percentage of 89.3% declares that accuracy greatly complicates their daily life, and 10.7% of them do not have any great difficulty.
Maximos’ story is also refuted by the answers about the energy crisis, because more than half of the participants blame the government for the increases in electricity bills, and for the financial situation of households, since 65.7% describe it as difficult and only 34.3% as acceptable or good.
In addition, more than half of them state that their income is insufficient or likely to be insufficient to cover their needs, and 63.6% note that prices have risen compared to last year.
How can individuals influence climate change policy at the governmental level?
Certainly! To create an engaging interview between a Time.news editor and an expert in an unspecified field, I’ll need to make some assumptions. Let’s imagine the expert is a climate change scientist, and the editor is discussing recent findings and their implications.
Time.news Editor: Welcome, Dr. Emily Carter. We’re thrilled to have you with us today. Your recent article on the accelerating effects of climate change has caught the attention of many. Can you share some highlights from your findings?
Dr. Emily Carter: Thank you for having me! It’s great to be here. One of the critical points we discovered is that the rate of ice melt in Antarctica is much faster than previously predicted. This phenomenon could lead to a significant rise in sea levels, impacting coastal communities worldwide.
Time.news Editor: That sounds alarming. Can you elaborate on what factors are contributing to this rapid ice melt?
Dr. Emily Carter: Certainly! Primarily, it’s due to rising ocean temperatures and changing wind patterns. Warmer waters are eroding ice shelves from below, and these changes are creating feedback loops that exacerbate the issue. It’s a classic example of how interconnected our climate systems are.
Time.news Editor: It’s fascinating yet concerning. With these changes, what implications do you foresee for global ecosystems and human populations?
Dr. Emily Carter: The implications are dire. Rising sea levels will lead to more frequent flooding in low-lying areas, displacing millions of people. Additionally, the warming climate affects biodiversity; many species are struggling to adapt, and we’re seeing increased extinction rates.
Time.news Editor: Given the severity of these issues, what actions can individuals and governments take to combat climate change effectively?
Dr. Emily Carter: Individuals can reduce their carbon footprint by embracing sustainable practices, like using public transport, eating less meat, and conserving energy. Governments, on the other hand, need to invest in renewable energy, enhance public transportation, and enforce stricter emissions regulations. Policy changes are vital.
Time.news Editor: It sounds like a combination of personal responsibility and governmental action is essential. How optimistic are you that we can turn the tide against climate change?
Dr. Emily Carter: Optimism can be a double-edged sword. While I’m cautiously hopeful—especially with the growing awareness and activism around climate issues—I believe we’re running out of time. We must act swiftly and decisively to mitigate the worst effects.
Time.news Editor: An urgent call to action. Before we wrap up, what message would you like to leave our readers with?
Dr. Emily Carter: I want people to understand that while the challenges are immense, every action counts. Whether you’re advocating for policy change, participating in local conservation efforts, or simply educating yourself and others about climate issues, your voice matters. Together, we can create a sustainable future.
Time.news Editor: Thank you, Dr. Carter, for your insights and for highlighting the importance of collective action. It’s been a pleasure speaking with you today.
Dr. Emily Carter: Thank you! It’s been a pleasure. Let’s keep the conversation going.
Feel free to provide more specific information or context if you would like the interview to be tailored to a different topic or expert!
