[01] PASOK slams govt's economic performance
Main opposition PASOK officials slammed ruling New Democracy on its
economic performance on Tuesday, with criticism targeting both Finance
Minister George Alogoskoufis and the government in general.
Vasso Papandreou, head of the Finance Division of PASOK's Political
Council, accused Alogoskoufis of taking stabs at PASOK because "he's
found himself at an impasse."
She added that "Speaking supposedly of PASOK's 'secret' programme, Mr.
Alogoskoufis is simply implementing in Greece [Italian Prime Minister
Silvio] Berlusconi's practices, in other words, slandering his
political opponents."
On their part, Rodoula Zisi and Christos Protopappas, Coordinator and
Deputy Coordinator of the parliamentary group's Production and Commerce
Division respectively, said that the inflation data released by the
National Statistics Agency (ESYE) "provides indisputable evidence of
the negative situation in the marketplace."
They added that "inflation is increasing at a greater rate than last
year and that the high cost of basic goods and services is further
pressuring household incomes."
