[01] KKE leader addresses party event

Papariga was responding to criticism directed at her party regarding its opposition actions during the first days of the new government and in the wake of statements by Prime Minister George Papandreou in Parliament that KKE "is an extremist party" and that in a few days time it announced mobilisations that it had not done during the five and a half years that ND had been in power.

The Secretary General added that her party was fully vindicated in its predictions as to the measures that the new government would be taking against working people.
