[01] PM Karamanlis requests vote of confidence to proceed with reforms

He also called on main opposition PASOK, which he said is in a confused state, to take a position in respect to the country's problems and to submit its proposals.

In kicking off the three-day parliamentary process for a vote of confidence, Karamanlis emphasised that the New Democracy administration is a force of reform, changing Greece and leaving the past behind.

He also said that the government enjoys the public's support since the general election of March 7, 2004.

Karamanlis explained that the reason he asked for parliament's vote of confidence is because he felt there was a need for all political parties to air their views on all issues.

"It is time that everyone assumes his responsibilities. [It is time] to choose a side: [one must] either choose the past - conservatism and reaction; or the future - reform and progress," Karamanlis said.
