[01] PASOK secretary critices ministry on local gov't
Main opposition Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) National Council
Secretary Mariliza Xenoyiannakopoulou on Wednesday accused the Ministry
of Internal Affairs, Public Administration and Decentralisation of
attempting to manipulate local government.
She was referring to the ministry's draft law which was made public on
Wednesday and which regulates matters of national, prefectural and
municipal elections.
PASOK's National Council secretary added that "the government is
manifesting its anxiety, due to the rapid change in the political
climate due to its policies, of the insecurity and uncertainty which it
creates to the citizens."
In response to the comments by Xenoyiannakopoulou, the interior
ministry in an announcement said that "the government remains firm in
defending the institutions and at the same time places the foundations
for strong local government, in contrast to PASOK which remains fixed
on a logic of tactics."
