  • [01] ND leader Karamanlis outlines policy at campaign rally in Katerini

    08/02/2004 23:13:59

    Main opposition New Democracy (ND) leader Costas Karamanlis on Sunday pledged that after the March 7 elections he would form a ''government of all the Greeks'', speaking at a campaign rally in Katerini.

    ''We pledge ourselves to forming a government that will abolish the party banners from the public sector and will reward the ability and contribution of all, a government with social sensitivity and responsibility. We commit ourselves to a governance based on principles and values,'' he said.

    Karamanlis outlined his party's positions regarding the farmers, and its new economic policy.

    ''On March 7 we will decide for our present and future. It is the time to put an end to lost opportunities for our country,'' he said, adding that the priorities were to implement a National Strategy for Regional Development, to support the small and medium size enterprises, to reinforce agriculture and tourism, to create new jobs, and to relieve the population groups with the greatest needs: low-salary earners, low-pension earners, working women and the unemployed.

    [02] KKE leader Papariga calls people to counter-attack by voting for KKE

    08/02/2004 23:13:06

    Communist Party of Greece (KKE) leader Aleka Papariga on Sunday called on the people to counter-attack by not voting for either of the two major parties and casting their ballot instead for the KKE.

    Addressing an event organised by the Thessaloniki party organisation for the 85th anniversary of the founding of the KKE, Papariga accused the leaders of the two major parties of trying to misguide the Greek people, and severely criticised the platforms presented by both the ruling PASOK and main opposition New Democracy.

    With respect to PASOK and George Papandreou, she said that ''when a party changes leader, it doesn't mean its also changing policy'', while with respect to ND and Costas Karamanlis, she said that if they came to power they would implement the same policy, and the only thing that would occur would be a change of party, and not a political change.

    She described the social policies of both those parties as ''crumbs aimed at slowing down the crisis that will break out in society''.
