[01] G. Papandreou: âSolutions with Social Faceâ
The Party of European Socialists (PES) convened here on Thursday, with
the participation of main opposition PASOK leader George Papandreou,
and focused on the economic crisis and the issue of illegal
immigration. Papandreou agreed with other socialist leaders that
solutions in economy must have a social face and called on the European
Union to boost financially Greece regarding the safeguard of its sea
frontiers.
PASOK leader said that he is in favor of Barroso re election. He said
in a statement that he had the opportunity during his address at the
session to stress that "we are striving to change Europe".
He pointed out that "we are striving to change economic policy and the
Stability Pact, to enable us to invest in man, education, health and
welfare services, social cohesion, the small and medium-size enterprise
and the real economy and not only in banks."
He also underlined that we must invest in âgreen developmentâ that will
offer us a new development model that will respect the environment. As
far as illegal emigration is concerned Papandreou stated that we must
invest in community solidarity, we must safeguard our frontiers
incorporating emigrants in our society focusing at the same time on
human being.
