[01] Papandreou addresses rally in AgrinioMain opposition PASOK leader George Papandreou addressed an open rally of party supporters in Agrinio, western Greece on Wednesday night. "Today Agrinio spoke, the people spoke, the democratic campaign of victory spoke, which is erupting throughout the country. The (general) elections have been judged," he said.He added: "In 26 days from today, Greece is changing a page, the Right returns to its known position: in the main opposition, the new change is coming and from September 17 the new PASOK government will get to work." Papandreou said that PASOK "is beginning with the guide, its renewed programme and its founding values for a strong Greece, with social justice, security, a smile, prospects, a strong position in the European Union and prestige in the world, a Greece with extroversion and dynamics." The PASOK leader went on to say that "Mr. (Prime Minister Costas) Karamanlis did not decide the elections. His policy collapsed, his government has fallen. Now, no one hears them (the New Democracy government) any more and no one believes them. The only ND plan and that of Mr. Karamanlis is how to serve major interests. He now sees the rage of the citizens mounting from the incompetency, in the handling of the wildfires, in the delay in giving essential support to those affected."
