[01] European Socialists convene in Brussels
The Party of European Socialists (PES) convened here on Thursday, with
the participation of main opposition PASOK leader George Papandreou,
and focused on the economic crisis and the issue of illegal
immigration.
Papandreou said in a statement that he had the opportunity during his
address at the session to stress that "we are striving to change
Europe".
He pointed out that "we are striving to change economic policy and the
Stability Pact, to enable us to invest in man, education, health and
welfare services, social cohesion, the small and medium-size enterprise
and the real economy and not only in banks."
According to Papandreou, "we must also invest in green development,
which will place us in a new growth model that will respect the
environment."
The PASOK leader further stressed that one must "invest in community
solidarity regarding the issue of immigrants, guarding our borders, but
also incorporating immigrants in our societies appropriately and always
focusing on man."
