[01] Karamanlis Holds Meetings with Political Leaders
The Prime Minister will hold today successive meetings with political
leaders in order to find concessive resolutions to tackle the financial
crisis. At 11.00 he will meet with George Papandreou, at 12.30 with
Aleka Papariga, at 14.00 with George Karatzaferis and at 17.00 with
Alekos Alavanos. The premier further reiterated the need for agreement
on "the basics and the self-evident", given that the crisis "is
knocking on our door" and "no one can turn a deaf ear". The Prime
Minister Costas Karamanlis on Wednesday briefed President of the
Republic Karolos Papoulias on Sunday's extraordinary EU summit and the
developments in the global financial crisis, as well as its impact on
Greece.
PASOK commented that agreement can be reached when there is credibility
and the Greek citizens as well as European partners in international
markets do not trust the government.
"The Greek people must not be fooled by ND-PASOK conflict, as the two
parties fully consent on basic issues", KKE supported.
"Unfortunately, the Prime Minister and the government lack the
self-evident", Alekos Alavanos said from Heraklion, Crete.
"The whole political world must stand with responsibility against the
financial problem", LAOS commented in its announcement.
