[02] The sooner this government leaves, the better for this place, main opposition leader Mitsotakis says"As long as this government remains in power, it will be a government of damage," main opposition New Democracy (ND) leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Sunday in a party conference.Mitsotakis estimated that the measures taken will not give a definite solution to the problems of the economy adding that the 5.4 billion euro package of measures along with the 3.6 billion euro contingent measures are the result of the prime minister's political lack of credibility. He explained that the policy followed is completed wrong and stressed that he asked for elections with great responsibility.
