[01] Opposition parties react to EU commission
PASOK MP and economic sector head Louka Katseli said the Commission
announcement merely confirmed what PASOK was all along, namely, that
Greece is entering the excessive debt procedure.
She was commenting on a European Commission�s recommendation over the
country�s updated Stability and Growth Program for the period
2008-2011.
Katseli said the international economic crisis was not responsible for
this development, rather it was due to continuous deficits run up by
the government over the past two years.
On its part, the Communist Party (KKE) said the Commission report "once
again reveals the fact that the EU is a transnational mechanism of
processing and protecting the anti-popular policies; a faithful
expression of the needs of European monopolies..."
Finally, a Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) statements condemns the
report as proposing the same "failed" recipes and directives, "measures
that only affect the economically weaker and which, to a great extent,
led to today's economic crisis".
