[01] PASOK slams govt's economic performanceMain opposition PASOK officials slammed ruling New Democracy on its economic performance on Tuesday, with criticism targeting both Finance Minister George Alogoskoufis and the government in general.Vasso Papandreou, head of the Finance Division of PASOK's Political Council, accused Alogoskoufis of taking stabs at PASOK because "he's found himself at an impasse." She added that "Speaking supposedly of PASOK's 'secret' programme, Mr. Alogoskoufis is simply implementing in Greece [Italian Prime Minister Silvio] Berlusconi's practices, in other words, slandering his political opponents." On their part, Rodoula Zisi and Christos Protopappas, Coordinator and Deputy Coordinator of the parliamentary group's Production and Commerce Division respectively, said that the inflation data released by the National Statistics Agency (ESYE) "provides indisputable evidence of the negative situation in the marketplace." They added that "inflation is increasing at a greater rate than last year and that the high cost of basic goods and services is further pressuring household incomes."
