  • [01] Main opposition leader slams gov't, PM personally

    Main opposition PASOK President George Papandreou slammed the government and Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis personally, during his speech at a party event in Argos, in the Peloponnese, on Sunday evening.

    Papandreou held Karamanlis personally responsible for "any and all problems that were created or escalated in the past two years" and said that early elections "are the most advantageous solution."

    PASOK's leader placed great emphasis on the recent phone-tapping affair which targeted the prime minister, high-ranking government officials and others, calling it "a major political issue."

    He called on the government to "tell the truth" regarding the affair and that whoever is responsible must be brought to justice. He said Karamanlis was personally responsible for covering up the matter.

    Papandreou went on to criticise the government on a broad range of issues, including the Cyprus issue, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia's name dispute, relations with the European Union, the Balkans and Turkey.

    He also criticised Karamanlis for the country's unemployment, inequality, the high cost of living and the shutting down of businesses.

    As for the recent cabinet reshuffle, Papandreou called it "a recycling of individuals."

    Papandreou said that when PASOK returns to power it intends to push through major reforms that will require a strong local government.
