  • [01] Papandreou: 'Democracy needs renewal'

    Main opposition PASOK party leader George Papandreou, in his capacity as president of the Socialist International, addressed a congress of the Democrats of the Left in Florence, Italy on Thursday evening.

    Speaking in Italian, Papandreou said "only united; only together can we win and change the world, because we have real differences from conservatives and the right --. Differences in values."

    The 4th congress of the Democrats of the Left, the party that developed from the Italian Communist Party, began on Thursday with 1,550 delegates, 147 representatives of 73 parties from all over the world, international organisations from 73 countries and 65 diplomatic delegations.

    The party currently constitutes the biggest "pylon" of the ruling coalition headed by Romano Prodi.

    Papandreou said that democracy needs renewal today for the good of its citizens, adding that it is not an issue of election tactics but a crucial case for political life.

    "Common conscience makes us intelligent enough to enable us to work together, to think of tomorrow and not only of today, to break the wall of inequalities between genders, races and nations, as well as the real walls that exist in Palestine and Cyprus," the PASOK leader said.

    Lastly, Papandreou expressed his support for the government of Prodi and did not omit, in view of the April 21 anniversary, to thank Italian parties for their solidarity to the struggle a Greek military dictatorship, 1967-1974.
