Athens, September 10 (M.P.A.)
In light of the September 22 elections, Greek Prime Minister and PASOK President Kostas Simitis continues his pre-election campaign today by touring Agrinio and Patras. During his talk in Arta yesterday, Mr. Simitis emphasized that the dilemma in the upcoming elections is the maintenance of the status quo on one hand, or modernization on the other. Referring to the statement made by Miltiades Evert, leader of the main opposition party New Democracy, wherein he had said that every turkish aircraft will be intercepted by two Greek aircraft, Mr. Simitis said that the N.D. leader is a "jingoist." In a press conference given yesterday, Mr. Evert promised to provide immediate solutions to the problems of unemployment in the agricultural sector and the problems faced by the small-to-middle size businesses. In minor opposition parties, leader of Political Spring Antonis Samaras will tour Etoloakarnania today, while Secretary-General of the Communist Party of Greece Aleka Paparega -currently in Thessaloniki- will visit the city of Kilkis. Coalition of the Left and Progress (Synaspismos) party leader Nikos Konstantopoulos will travel to Crete, while President of the Democratic Social Movement (DHKKI) will tour Thessalia and will speak at an open rally in Trikala this evening.
