[01] Venizelos addresses PASOK National CouncilAMNA - PASOK leader Evangelos Venizelos on Friday addressed his party's National Council meeting and underlined that the Greek parliament cannot host fascist and neo-Nazi sympathizers."Greece, despite the difficulties, will either follow a European course that offers a safe path for the return to economic stability or else it will follow a blind course in some other direction for which nobody is saying what this will be, what its goal will be or the guarantees," Venizelos stated, pointing out that this is what's at stake in the general elections. He added that PASOK's goal is to win, saying that it "is both realistic and attainable". Venizelos characterized as a challenge the New Democracy (ND) position for a "second election round" if no majority government can be formed. Referring to PASOK MPs who do not wish to run in the imminent elections, he said that this is a natural process of renewal, pointing out that over 60 pct of the party's candidates will be new faces. "All those who accept the party's strategy should join in," he said, adding that being recently elected to the leadership of PASOK he extends an invitation of unity. He added that the party's entire parliamentary group will be running in the elections and invited all those who recently parted ways with PASOK to return if they accept the political framework he has set.
