Papandreou: Yes to consensus under conditions

Main opposition PASOK party leader George Papandreou on Sunday toured the northwest city of Ioannina, where he told supporters that he is positive on the need for consensus by all political forces to deal with the economic crisis, but under conditions and with plan and targets serving peoples' interests.

"Consensus without a plan and goals, as Prime Minister Mr. (Costas) Karamanlis asks, is just a blank cheque to proceed with his policy, which is unjust and unreliable and finally leads to an impasse that will keep supporting his 'favourites' and the few; continuing the looting of state coffers, corruption and the inequality. We will not give our acquiescence for such a blank cheque," Papandreou said.

He again repeated his demand for early elections. "Let's leave Greek people to decide what they want: PASOK or ruling New Democracy, exit from bankruptcy and the crisis, a dignified living or poverty, security or insecurity, protection or a sell-out and looting of the state's wealth, fear and obedience to European and international fora, or a proud and strong negotiation with our partners in the EU?"

Referring to European Parliament elections, Papandreou called for a change in political forces' correlation by giving preference to European socialists, asking: "Who told us that we must accept a conservative Europe that will focus on the market and common currency and not a democratic Europe … one of a new development model that will invest in education and modernisation, in human development and the environment...?"

"Without a development goal we will not be able to exit from the crisis," he said, outlining PASOK's five priorities for what he has touted as "green development."

In reference to the all-important sources for funding such initiatives, Papandreou again referred to a "redistribution of wealth", "green growth", cutting waste in public spending, better management of existing state resources, and EU funding.

"People have the power with their vote to choose between two different worlds, and they will choose PASOK," he concluded.
