[01] Samaras: 'Clean mandate for clear-cut solutions'
(ANA-MPA) -- Main opposition New Democracy (ND) leader Antonis Samaras
continued to step up his criticism of the PASOK government, as he
was quoted on Saturday as emphasising that "we will not tell lies to
the people".
"What we say we mean, and will do; we're not fooling anyone," Samaras was
quoted as saying in an interview with an Athens weekly financial paper.
Moreover, Samaras repeated his mantra of a "economic re-start", saying
that lending and whatever loans, in themselves, cannot save the country,
but only grant a reprieve.
In answer to a question, the ND leader said a reduction in tax rates
by themselves are not enough, with measures to increase liquidity also
necessary. Reducing state sector waste, boosting demand, structural
reforms and exploiting the state's assets were other priorities he
cited. (ANA-MPA)
