[01] Greek people's democratic will should be taken into account, EU
Commission head Juncker says
ANA/MPA---The President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker
on Tuesday said the expression of the Greek people's democratic will
should be taken into account and congratulated the Greek people on
"their courage".
In his address in the annual meeting of the European Parliament and the
national parliaments on the European Semester, Juncker said that those
who win the elections in Greece and other countries should in their turn
consider the rest of the EU people as well as their beliefs.
He also acknowledged the need for some differentiation in policies,
clarifying however: "We will not overturn everything just because we
had an election result."
Juncker also referred to the initiatives taken by the Commission before
the Greek elections on the 315 billion euro investment programme and
the decisions on the flexibility of the Stability Pact.
"I comprehend what has happened in Greece and I am telling you that what
the EU Commission did took place before the lesson that some people say
we took from the result of the Greek elections," Juncker said.
