  • [01] PASOK party leader addresses rally in Peristeri

    Main opposition PASOK party leader George Papandreou addressed a rally in the region of Peristeri, in western Athens, on Friday night, sharply criticising the government and Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis for his policies.

    Referring to the revision of GDP, the PASOK leader said that "they have led the country to serious adversities, they cooked up the unbelievable trick of proclaiming the Greek citizens rich European citizens."

    He also spoke of a "second so-called inventory", since the "first was done to discredit PASOK and for them to evade their pre-election promises" and the "second took place because we got them in the corner and for them to serve all those whom they want."

    Papandreou further said that "this trick is the admission of their policy, the admission that for them there are no principles, institutions and values", adding that "in both cases New Democracy put Greece into needless adversities."

    The PASOK leader accused the government of systematically organising a "regime of arbitrariness" in the country and pointed out that "the events we have been watching in the past days (and) the continuous revelations of scandals are not circumstantial but are linked absolutely to specific political decisions, practices and conceptions of the ND government."

    Referring to educational issues, he called on the prime minister "to address the problems of teachers, not to hide and to find the necessary amounts with a mutual agreement on the evaluation and improvement of the quality of schools."

    Papandreou stressed that "the course of PASOK, as well as the work of the governments of Andreas Papandreou and Costas Simitis show that all are not the same," adding that "today, in the Third phase of PASOK we are prepared for the next step:to build a just society that rewards value, that supports and rewards toil, that encourages initiative and creation."

    Lastly, he said that "I do not accept and the Greek working man does not accept that Greece be considered, as foreign newspapers have written, a paraeconomy of money-laundering, gambling and prostitution."
