    [02] PASOK Programming and Attack against the Government

    Written by Αρης Δημητρίου

    PASOK links Euro-elections with national elections stressed the party's leader George Papandreou in his intervention during the meeting of the Central Committee for the Election campaign. The Committee approved the programming till the day of elections and speeches by the president of the movement.

    Centering on the political parties contribution to the country's European course, G. Papandreou maintained that PASOK is the party that achieved to formulate conditions to benefit Greece. Exercising once again tough criticism against the government handlings, he blamed the ND for passive concept, quoting as proof the fact that the ruling party always refers back to the 80\s and the country's admission to the EU without indicating anything else.
