[01] Papandreou addresses rally in Karditsa

"In 25 days from today, Greece is turning a page, the Right is returning to its position: to the main opposition and the new change is coming. The river of victory does not turn back. I am not and will never become like (Prime Minister Costas) Karamanlis. I shall honor what I�m saying and will not hide at the Maximos Mansion (the prime minister�s office)," the PASOK leader said.

"Today Greece is choosing, as it knows that there are options," said Papandreou, underlining that "Mr. Karamanlis did not choose the elections, as his policy collapsed and the government fell down from the weight of its own policies and sins."

The main opposition PASOK leader said "they (the New Democracy government) had only one plan. How to serve some major interests, clientele, to fulfill the ambitions of other followers and of course themselves, with the money of the Greek people."

Papandreou further said "the government increased the privileges and turned a blind eye to taxes which should have been imposed on the wealthier people and the powerful."
