[01] PASOK on economy, inflation
The main opposition PASOK party on Thursday accused the government of
being "incapable of achieving the targets of the budget".
"Inflation being at 4.9 percent, proves that the government is
incapable of achieving the targets of the budget," party spokeswoman
Maria Karaklioumi told reports at her briefing.
"The budget served as a pretext for holding the September 2007 early
elections," she said, adding that the budget "yet for another year
fells short of its targets."
Earlier in the day, PASOK's economy rapporteur Louka Katseli, while
commenting on the July inflation rate, accused the government that
"instead of adopting measures in immediate support to the households'
purchasing power and strengthening the market, the only thing it does
is to declare that it will continue in the same path, thus accentuating
the deep economic crisis which itself has provoked."
