[01] Wrangling over Social Security D/B for Civil Sector
Wednesday, 14 July 2010 15:30
Parliament debate on social security draft-bill for the civil sector is
being held in high pitched tone. There was strong dispute between ND
party leader A. Samaras and Finance Minister G. Papakonstantinou.
"Socially we went bankrupt " said Mr. Samaras in his intervention and
blamed the government for " having taken unfair measures that lead the
country to deadlock and long recession". Furthermore he spoke of
"complete reversal of the social security system" and maintained that
"there is another road the ND proposes and specific measures that will
exit the country from the memorandum terms in two years". In response,
Mr. Papakonstantinou blamed the ND leader for vague talks and called
him to say "which specific magic measures would take the country out of
the memorandum terms in two years". He added "we do not tell stories to
gain political time". ADEDY has announced a work stoppage from 11:00
till the end of the shift on Thursday, when the Parliament will pass
the draft-bill.
