[01] ND leader Samaras tours PeloponneseMain opposition New Democracy party leader Antonis Samaras concluded his tour of the Peloponnese, in southern Greece, with a visit to the city of Megalopoli on Saturday, where he toured the market, spoke to inhabitants and went to the election centre of the candidate supported by ND for the city's mayorship.Samaras reassured that "we are waging a struggle for the country's hope, a struggle against the policy of PASOK, that wants the people fearful, with a mentality that wants shops to be gradually extinguished. And the production forces to succumb. For there to be no optimism for young people. We are waging a struggle for young people to have the right to hope." The ND leader went on to say "I want to request from you to forge ahead in this struggle together. And I am not requesting a vote for myself, not even for the party. I am requesting your vote for you and your families. For us to get away from desperation. For a clear future, with a struggling spirit and creativity. For us to build a better tomorrow." Samaras also said "the elections are the first step and we must send the message to the government. Because if we send the message that all is well you can expect 2011 to be a tax storm year. Abstention is not permissible. Because abstention is in PASOK's favour." He stressed as well that "the '80s is the decade of PASOK. It is the decade for which we are calling for the Factfinding Commission's probe to begin. PASOK for reasons that everyone understands and realises does not want this."
