Samaras bashes PM, government

Main opposition New Democracy (ND) leader Antonis Samaras on Monday lashed out against prime minister George Papandreou and the Pasok government over an article appearing in the Sunday edition of "Kathimerini", according to which Papandreou had secretly asked the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to intervene in order to bail out Greece in December 2009, in a communication with IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn 
 
"We asked the government. We asked them and they did not reply. And there is no longer any reason for them to reply. Everyone understands," Samaras said in reply to a journalist's question.
