  • [01] PASOK on labour relations

    Main opposition PASOK spokesman George Papaconstantinou on Thursday accused the government of "dismantling labour relations" while referring to an economy and finance ministry's amendment to the money-laundering bill, introducing a tougher employment regime for newly-hired staff in loss-making state enterprises, which was voted by Parliament earlier in the day.

    The spokesman reiterated that the amendment voted "presents serious problems regarding its conformity with the constitution and EU legislation."

    "But the most important is that it constitutes a bomb in the foundations of social conquests," Papaconstantinou added.

    He said that, according to PASOK's view, "public utilities which contribute to social welfare are loss-making in Greece as is it is the case in all Europe," and termed as "misleading the effort by the finance minister to put on to the workers' shoulders the utilities' bad management."

    The PASOK spokesman also termed as an "extremely positive development" a Turkish Constitutional Court's rejection of a petition for banning Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's ruling Justice and Development (AKP) party.

    "This development is positive as regards both Turkey's stability and the stability in the broader region," Papaconstantinou told reporters at his daily briefing, adding that the ruling also "helps towards defusing the crisis which broke out in EU-Turkish relations recently."
