ND spokesman criticises PM

Main opposition New Democracy (ND) party spokesman
Yiannis Mihelakis criticised on Wednesday Prime Minister George Papandreou's statements made earlier in the day during a cabinet meeting.
"Mr. Papandreou, during his address to his ministers, instead of coordinating his government, he opted, yet for another time, for attacking the New Democracy party," Mihelakis said in a statement, calling on to the prime minister to answer "if he has anything to say on the 15 per cent increase in unemployment".
The ND spokesman also questioned whether "it is the complete failure regarding the state's incomes that led to the resignation of the Secretary General of the Finance Ministry George Georgakopolos earlier in the day."
Regarding developments in the Mediterranean region, Mihelakis charged that Papandreou "should answer, as Socialist International president, questions regarding his broader political family which includes Kaddafi, Mubarak and Ben Ali."
"For what reasons there has been no clear statement condemning the bloodshed provoked by the Kaddafi regime," the ND spokesman also questioned.
