  • [01] Papandreou meets professionals' confederation

    Main opposition PASOK leader George Papandreou on Wednesday met with the board of Greece's Confederation of Professionals, Craftsmen and Merchants (GSEVEE).

    After the meeting, GSEVEE president Dimitris Asimakopoulos said Papandreou listened to their problems concerning the lack of liquidity in the market and consumption, as well as the problems of debt loads burdening professionals and self-employed individuals in the country.

    "If we don't undertake measures we will face extreme situations and a major loss of job positions in the next six months," he said.
