Referring to European Social-Democrats, Mr. Papandreou noted institutional and political puzzlement in front of developments, adding that Socialists victory in Greece and Malta burden the two parties and particularly PASOK to pass a different climate in Europe. PASOK spokesman, George Papakonstantinou said that the Prime-minister did not receive any message and did not realize that Greek people condemned his policies.
