[01] PASOK spokesman on economy, Roussopoulos statements
Main opposition PASOK party spokesman George Papaconstantinou,
commenting on Tuesday on the latest report by the IOBE institute
which reflects, as he said, the Greeks' pessimism about the future,
said "there is a party, New Democracy (ND), which creates debts for
the Greeks when it is in power, increasing the deficit and the
public debt."
Papaconstantinou said that according to the report's data, the
economic climate index "fell to the lowest levels since 1990 and the
consumer confidence index below the levels of 1993," adding that
"they are phenomena that occur only when ND is in power."
Asked to comment on what former minister of state Theodoros
Roussopoulos said in televised statements Monday night,
Papaconstantinou said that the former minister has not answered many
political questions on the Vatopedi case and on other issues.
He claimed that Roussopoulos has refused completely to assume any
responsibility.
