[01] ND leader continues Crete tour(ANA-MPA) -- Main opposition New Democracy (ND) leader Antonis Samaras on Wednesday spoke in the Cretan town of Mylopotamos, in the popular holiday island's mountainous interior, where he repeated that the "(EC-ECB-IMF) memorandum is not a solution".On the second day of his three-day tour of Crete, Samaras said new farmers should be supported, as well as all those who choose to live in the provinces and not in the larger cities. He stressed that the stock-breeding sector has been abandoned and that the "Kallikratis" local administration reform "lacks harmony". Samaras underlined that the specific sector will be completely destroyed in case a VAT increase is imposed. (ANA-MPA) © ANA-MPA SA. Intellectual rights and copyright belong to the ANA-MPA S.A.
