  • [01] Parliament debate on 2006 draft budget begins

    Parliament debate began on Sunday evening over the 2006 draft budget, with a vote -- which also serves as a customary vote of confidence for the government -- expected at around midnight on Thursday.

    The fallout, nevertheless, from Friday's late-night deal on the 2007-2013 budget at a European Union summit mostly dominated initial addresses from Parliament's podium, with Economy Minister George Alogoskoufis noting that some quarters were "saddened" when the government achieved its targets, especially in terms of slashing the budget deficit, continuing GDP growth and lessening unemployment.

    He also returned volleys at PASOK for criticism by some of its cadres over the 20.1-billion-euro figure allocated to Greece for cohesion support, the same figure initially cited in June.

    PASOK rapporteur Andreas Makrypidis, conversely, downplayed the government's presence at the EU summit, saying Greece would have received the same amount "anyway", while saying today the figure is "presented by the government as a major accomplishment".
