ND: PASOK is the country's problem

In an interview appearing in the Sunday edition of "Kathimerini" Antonis Samaras, leader of the main opposition party of New Democracy (ND), ruled out any prospect of co-governance with the PASOK ruling party or a collaboration with other parties of the so-called center-right spectrum.

"They are not asking us for responsibility, they are asking for complicity. We will not give it to them," Samaras said.

He added that it was a matter of time before ND found itself as the ruling party with a clear mandate from a broad majority, while he also said he understands that "the people who are disappointed with PASOK are hesitant before taking the next step in the direction of ND".

Samaras stressed that the EC-ECB-IMF Memorandum is an example to be avoided, and accused PASOK of being the country's problem.

"PASOK is a captive of its own lies and the impasses in which it has entrapped the economy," the main opposition party leader said, and ruled out any chance of a collaboration.
