    N.D. leader Costas Karamanlis stated that the Simitis-led government is hooked on power and will resort to anything in order to maintain its position. Moreover, Mr. Karamanlis reiterated his claims of government-led corruption and illegal hires.

    Government spokesperson Dimitris Reppas responded that the main opposition party has discovered a "vein of mudslinging" and thus tries to cover his party's emptiness. He challenged Mr. Karamanlis to resort to justice in concern with his claims of corruption.
