[01] PASOK against 'monitoring of citizens'
Main opposition Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK) leader George
Papandreou referring to the use of CCTV cameras along central Athens'
main thoroughfares for law enforcement surveillance, expressed his
party's opposition to what he called the "monitoring of citizens",
while speaking to PASOK's parliamentary council.
He added that the concepts of citizens' fundamental rights and their
security should not clash, with protection of the right to privacy
comprising a segment of citizens' security. He also said that while in
power, PASOK achieved success in the battle against urban home-grown
terrorists without violating such rights.
Meanwhile, a party press release on Wednesday said that Papandreou
would be attending a reception on Thursday evening hosted by President
of the Republic Karolos Papoulias at the Presidential Mansion in honour
of the Diplomatic Corps.
