"The March 25 EU Summit is yet another difficult milestone in the course of our country," Prime Minister George Papandreou on Wednesday underlined addressing the cabinet meeting.
Papandreou referred to the meetings he had with the political party leaders on Tuesday to brief them on the imminent negotiations in the European Union.
He pointed out that the conservative political forces dominate in Europe and compared the decisions adopted last Friday by the two largest European political parties, the Socialists and the EPP.
PM Papandreou underlined that while the Socialists' text included all the positions supported by Pasok, as regards Europe and the tough situation faced by Greece and other countries, the EPP-adopted text included only the wish that the programmes implemented by Greece and Ireland will continue their successful course.
He criticised main opposition New Democracy (ND) party leader Antonis Samaras, accusing him of supporting the memorandum when speaking abroad and condemning it as catastrophic when addressing the Greek people.
He also referred to the Greek proposal on the issuance of Eurobonds and the imposition of a financial transactions tax that won the European Parliament's vote.
