[01] Papandreou meets with ASEP president
Main opposition PASOK party leader George Papandreou met on Friday with
the President of the Supreme Staff Selection Council (ASEP), George
Beis, telling him that the Council "is the pride of a great effort and
of many, younger deputies then, for meritocracy in the country."
"We believe that the meaning of meritocracy is a basic element of a
law-abiding state, even more so in the public sector, which must set an
example for society in a wider sense. And, of course, on the other
hand, a petty-party, clientele, favouritism conception in hirings is an
element of both corruption and undermining of every sense of values,"
he stressed.
Papandreou also said that "a great problem currently exists with regard
to the functioning of meritocracy in the country and, unfortunately,
even the Independent Authority has been undermined in its activity."
