[01] Gov't spokesman responds to PASOK leaderMinister of State and Government Spokesman Theodoros Roussopoulos on Saturday commented on an address given by main opposition Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) leader George Papandreou at an indoor rally of party supporters on the island of Naxos on Friday.Roussopoulos said:"Mr. Papandreou reached the point of claiming that under the PASOK governments the country was an international example, a model and a point of reference and that his party brought complete democracy and credibility to the country." The Minister of State added:"If he is really unable of being aware of the results of the 20 years of governance by PASOK - in which he participated as a minister - to the country and citizens, he should again study one of the many relevant reports of the European Union and of international organisations. However, it would be well for the PASOK president to know that political surrealism cannot in any case cover the lack of positions and programmes, seriousness and responsibility."
