[01] Papandreou: Gov't policy adding to citizens' insecurityMain opposition PASOK leader George Papandreou on Wednesday criticised the government, saying its policy created insecurity among the citizens, during an address at the second day of a two-day meeting of his party's Parliamentary group coordinating body.Papandreou, who on Wednesday marked the second anniversary of his assumption of PASOK's leadership, said the government of Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis was perpetuating the insecurity of the Greek citizens; was not protecting their incomes and democratic rights, and was not ensuring the proper and smooth operation of the country's institutions. Turning to the ongoing phone-tapping furor, Papandreou cited what he described as "inconsistencies" in the statements made by the ministers during a meeting of Parliament's Institutions and Transparency committee. PASOK, he said, demanded that the entire truth be revealed, adding that, beyond the legal aspects of the case, there were also immense political responsibilities for the prime minister as well as the relevant ministers.
