[01] PM: We cannot avoid this fight(ANA-MPA) -- "This is the time to do battle and we don't have the luxury of avoiding this fight," Prime Minister George Papandreou stressed in his address to ruling PASOK party's Parliamentary group on Thursday.Speaking to his MPs at the start of an unscheduled meeting that he called earlier the same day, in the wake of an avalanche of developments and the resignations of three ruling party MPs, Papandreou sought to explain his reasons for seeking the support of the opposition parties for the new round of austerity measures and why his efforts for a consensus had ended in failure. While underlining that the government and PASOK's Parliamentary group were responsible for leading the country out of the crisis, Papandreou argued that a broader consensus would have given the country additional negotiating strength. "When other Parliament decide to lend to Greece with large majorities, it is not right for us here in Greece to be unable to reach agreement," he said. (ANA-MPA) © ANA-MPA SA.
