[01] German election model doesn't suit GreeceMain opposition New Democracy (ND) leader Antonis Samaras outlined his first proposals, since assuming the party's helm last week, on tackling the endemic problem of corruption in the country, in comments published in the Sunday edition of Athens' "Kathimerini" newspaper.The ND leader expressed his opposition to applying the German election model in Greece, saying its implementation in the east Mediterranean country would lead to "absolute leadership models" and "more concentrated party structures". Additionally, he was confident that the country is not on the verge of bankruptcy and advised the elaboration of a long-term strategy for the economy, emphasising that the current crisis is more of a "wake up" call rather than a collapse. Referring to his party, he reiterated that no one has the right to divide ND and promised an in-depth renewal on all levels. In criticising the new PASOK government's policy, Samaras referred to "impromptu" actions and "back peddling". Caption: ANA-MPA file photo main opposition New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras.
