  • [01] PM, PASOK leader comment on scandal-obsessed political climate

    Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis on Wednesday stressed the government's determination to proceed steadfastly in carrying out its programme and the reforms it has announced, as he emerged from the Church of St. Demetrius in Thessaloniki after attending a mass for the feast day of the city's patron saint.

    "Machinations of reaction and cries of conservatism neither dismay nor disorient us," he added in comments on a climate of scandal currently preoccupying the media and dominating headlines.

    "There are those who are adversely affected (by the government's reforms) but they are few compared to the many asking us to change things, to wipe out pathogeny and inflexibility and deal with the real problems of the country and its citizens," Karamanlis said.

    It is on these and only these that we direct our concern, our policies and our decisions, he added.

    Noting that the government welcomed democratic control of its work as constructive, Karamanlis nevertheless criticised what he called the "morbid climate cultivated by certain parties" and said it would not interfere with the government's efforts.

    "The citizens are more mature than some, who try to manipulate them, imagine," he added.

    The climate of scandal was also commented on by main opposition PASOK leader George Papandreou, who said that citizens "feel that Greece has been mired in the logic of petty party-political interests, clientelist relations, lack of transparency and that it has no vision".

    Greece and the Greek people deserved to have a vision and an effective leadership, which served the public interest and overcame self-serving and petty party-political interests, he added.
