Prime Minister insists on dismissing speculation about snap elections

George Papandreou once again repeated that he is not saying yes to snap elections rumours and emphasized that "citizens want changes, not elections."

This is what the PM stated during an interview carried by an Athens weekly over the weekend,
    
In the "Realnews" weekly, Papandreou clarified that he will honour the mandate given by the majority of voters, adding that there is no reason for early elections.

What is more, he guaranteed a referendum in 2011, while calling on ministers to proceed with changes and reforms immediately since, as he said, society detests half measures and is "thirsty for really fair changes."

"This is our target: real and fair changes everywhere," he mentioned.

Concerning the financial turmoil the country is going through, Papandreou dismissed the scenarios of Greece's exit from the Eurozone, stressing that "if we all do our job, not only will new measures not be necessary, but also we shall be able to remedy whatever injustices were caused by the urgency of our decisions."

Meanwhile Constantine Markopoulos, the parliamentary representative of New Democracy, the main opposition party, said his party is ready for elections whenever they are called.
