LA.O.S president on gov’t reshuffle

Opposition Popular Orthodox Rally (LA.O.S) president George Karatzaferis on Friday launched an indirect but clear attack on main opposition New Democracy (ND) party leader Antonis Samaras.
In a statement he made on the new government, Karatzaferis blamed Samaras – without naming him – because according to the LA.O.S leader “Papandreou is again Greece’s prime minister and with him the ‘deep’ PASOK, whatever this could mean,” adding that “the country has lost the opportunity to have an ecumenical government and a premier that enjoys wide acceptance.” 

He described the new government and the choice of its members as a “smart move by Papandreou” adding, however, that “the move is ineffective considering the country’s needs”.
