[01] PASOK leader addresses TIFThe country was going through a deep crisis, that disappointed and aggrieved the people, main opposition PASOK leader George Papandreou said on Saturday, and lambasted the government on its policy across the board, during his address at the 73rd Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF).The crisis, he continued, was not only an economic one, but also a political crisis, and a crisis of values. The international crisis, he said, was not to blame for most of the daily problems faced by the Greek people, but rather the failed choices of the New Democracy government, which had opted for the concentration of wealth in the hands of the few. Greece had taken a downturn towards bankruptcy in all sectors. Althoug a country of wealth, the economy, the education sector, social security and other sectors were heading to bankruptcy. A common effot was needed to exit from the crisis, Papandreou said, adding that the first step needed to be taken by the State, which would give the example of a different governance of the country, to enable it to move forward, and outlined his party's platform for governing the country, expressing certainty that PASOK would be the next government.
