[01] Greece sends a message of power, PM Samaras saysANA/MPA---"Today, Greece sends a message of power to all directions," Prime Minister Antonis Samaras on Monday said at a ceremony for the launching of "Pipinos" submarine, at Skaramanga Shipyards.Samaras underlined that the government once again proves that it has the will and the power to safely lead the country to the post-crisis era. Commenting on the launch of the submarine, he stressed that after 12 years, the Greek people's money has brought results. In order to achieve the launch of "Pipinos" submarine today, a lot of people and a lot of governments have worked, Samaras noted. On his part, Defence Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos stressed that the entire handling of the submarines case shows the importance of political agreement on national issues. This result, he added, shows that maintaining our capacity in infrastructure and human resources should be a central pillar of our defense and development policy in the future. [02] SYRIZA: Vote of confidence will not stop the government's progressive decayANA/MPA---The vote of confidence which the government is asking for and which, according to all indications, it will secure with its marginal majority, does not stop its progressive decay, SYRIZA parliamentary spokesman Theodore Dritsas told ANA-MPA in an interview."A government so distant from the society cannot be a stable one," he said. Asked on whether the result of the procedure of confidence vote is predetermined, he said that a widely shared belief in the Greek society is that this move on the part of the government is simply trying to restore the cohesion of the government and the two governing parties. "Therefore, it is not a movement of prospect, from which the Greek people can have any expectations," he said. The full interview is available for subscribers at the ANA-MPA website.
