MyData is a noose for professionals
The digital administration of IAPR (AADE) under Mr. Pitsilis has evolved from a modernization tool into a mechanism of… digital terrorism.
As the experienced accountant Agamemnon Stavropoulos denounces in his recent article on Skai.gr, the way new technologies are imposed does not aim at facilitation but at the complete strangulation of the professional.
While the leadership of IAPR enjoys the scandalous privilege of immunity and is housed in expensive offices, the citizens and scientists who support the economy live a constant “Odyssey.”
The most nightmarish example of this arbitrariness is the mammoth fine of 60,000 euros imposed on a female accountant for a purely technical issue of data transmission. It is an exhausting penalty, which has nothing to do with combating tax evasion but is a sample of a blind, punitive system. It is inconceivable that professionals are being destroyed and led to despair for formal errors resulting from the malfunctions of IAPR’s own platforms.
While Mr. Pitsilis celebrates the “overachievement of goals,” the reality behind the numbers is the extermination of the country’s human resources. In order to maintain the image of a “digital vanguard” and to justify the luxuries of the leadership, the state is transformed into a relentless collector, who recognizes neither mistakes nor technical weaknesses.
MyData and digital requirements have become the noose of the small-to-medium businessman and the accountant.
Instead of a system that helps growth, we have a digital policeman lying in wait to impose a 60,000 euro fine with the push of a button. These are the technical tricks of an administration that has lost all contact with society and measure.
Digital transformation should have a human face.
In the Pitsilis era, however, it only has the face of injustice and authoritarianism. Greek citizens are not expendable numbers to fulfill the goals of an elite that remains beyond reach, while a female accountant loses her life and her future for a digital gap. It is time for an end to be put to this paranoia.
