[01] Greece sends a message of power, PM Samaras says

Samaras underlined that the government once again proves that it has the will and the power to safely lead the country to the post-crisis era. Commenting on the launch of the submarine, he stressed that after 12 years, the Greek people's money has brought results. In order to achieve the launch of "Pipinos" submarine today, a lot of people and a lot of governments have worked, Samaras noted.

On his part, Defence Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos stressed that the entire handling of the submarines case shows the importance of political agreement on national issues. This result, he added, shows that maintaining our capacity in infrastructure and human resources should be a central pillar of our defense and development policy in the future.

"A government so distant from the society cannot be a stable one," he said.

Asked on whether the result of the procedure of confidence vote is predetermined, he said that a widely shared belief in the Greek society is that this move on the part of the government is simply trying to restore the cohesion of the government and the two governing parties. "Therefore, it is not a movement of prospect, from which the Greek people can have any expectations," he said.
