  • [01] Parliamentary vote of confidence in government on Sunday, debate begins Friday

  • [01] Parliamentary vote of confidence in government on Sunday, debate begins Friday

    Prime minister Costas Karamanlis on Wednesday called for a vote of confidence in his government by parliament, responding to an earlier call by main opposition PASOK leader George Papandreou for a vote of no confidence against economy and finance minister George Alogoskoufis.

    During an off-the-agenda debate on the economy in the 300-member House, Papandreou launched a scathing attack on the government, and opined that "very soon, the people will decide that the big step for structural changes in the country is to put (ruling party) ND back in the opposition benches". He then announced that he was submitting, on behalf of his main opposition party, a motion of censure vis-a-vis Algoskoufis.

    In response, Karamanlis said that, because the economy and the budget were not the issue of one person, but of overall government policy, "I request that the discussion be converted into a vote of confidence in the government, so that we may be given full opportunity to discuss issues, and for those responsible under the PASOK governments in the preceding years to appear".

    The vote of confidence will commence on Friday, to be wound up on Sunday night with a roll-call vote.
