[01] PASOK leader to chair party meeting Tuesday
Main opposition Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASO) President George
Papandreou will chair a meeting of the party's Parliamentary Council on
Tuesday.
Meanwhile PASOK MP Vasso Papandreou said on Monday that a pledge by
Finance Minister George Alogoskoufis to abolish a tax for larger real
estate properties and impose a uniform property tax instead was in line
with the government's policy of "taking from the many and giving to the
few."
"The owners of smaller properties of all types will be called on to pay
additional taxes, while [Alogoskoufis] is promising 'gifts' for major
real-estate owners, those who have and possess," said Papandreou, who
is in charge of economic affairs on PASOK's Parliamentary Council.
"The farmer's field, the worker's first home will be dealt with in the
same way as large luxury residences and country villas. This is one
more example of what the government means by the 'just society' that it
has recently started referring to," she added.
