[01] KKE leader on elections
[01] KKE leader on elections
Communist Party of Greece (KKE) Secretary General Aleka Papariga
predicted on Thursday that there would be early general elections in
the country, adding at the same time that Prime Minister Costas
Karamanlis "is keeping a surprise in store".
"It is obvious that the government can not finish its work. Now,
whether elections will be held next Spring or just before euroelections
(next June) I am not in a position to know exactly. I believe that the
prime minister is keeping some sort of surprise in store, and this
according to gallops and his advisers," Papariga told reporters after a
meeting with a delegation of women's organisations.
Responding to a question on the world economic crisis, Papariga said
that "after Germany's official entry into recession, it is being proven
that all those, that is the government and the other opposition
parties, who attribute the crisis exclusively to the banking system,
interest rates and credit cards -which of course constitute a problem-
they are misleading and deceiving the people. And this because the
crisis is generated in the real economy, in profit making, the
ultra-exploitation, so that the response should be measures for the
protection of workers, poor farmers and medium income earners and not
only the adjustement of particular aspects of the problem."
