Main opposition New Democracy party leader Antonis Samaras, addressing the 3rd session of the party's Political Committee on Saturday, sharply criticised the government over the issue of real estate utilisation.
"The government has entered a state of semidissolution and semiparalysis," Samaras said, adding "it is not merely certain arythmias in government work, it is a question of massed and consecutive cases of confusion and palinodes."
Referering to all that has followed the press conference by the troika, he spoke of a drama with denunciations by the government spokesman, denials by the Finance minister, denials by the prime minister himself and denials of the prime minister's denials.
He also mentioned as being indicative of the "government's confusion" the circular on semioutdoor premises that was withdrawn before circulating, the public disagreements on the tax bill and the role of the economic crime prosecutor, as well as the disagreements between the Environment minister and the Infrastructures minister.
Samaras further said that while the government is presenting a picture of dissolution, ND has a plan and added "every day we are signing a contract of dignity with the Greek people."
The ND leader referred to his proposal since last July on the utilisation of real estate. "We said last year that the memorandum is not succeeding, and also that the memorandum is not stopping but is strengthening and refuelling the momentum of the deficits and of the debt," he stressed and concluded by saying "we had been criticised at the time while now they are agreeing with us. When Pasok had requested consensus in reality it had wanted complicity."
