[01] KKE warns against abstention
Communist Party of Greece (KKE) general secretary Aleka Papariga on
Sunday afternoon warned supporters that voter abstention in the
upcoming June 7 election favors both of the major parties, ruling New
Democracy and main opposition PASOK.
Speaking at a rally in the Aghios Dimitrios district of southeastern
Athens, Papariga said accumulated problems of the 1990s and the last
few years has generated dissatisfaction, stressing that both mainstream
parties should be punished in the election.
She also dismissed smaller parties, saying a vote for the latter is a
"wasted vote", not because they have very few chances of gaining power
but because "a vote for them is wasted, in terms of a political
choice".
