Main opposition New Democracy (ND) leader Antonis Samaras said on Tuesday that his party is prepared for elections, whenever they take place, addressing a meeting of his party's executive committee.
He also stressed that he will not accept "co-governance with a Pasok that cannot find agreement even with itself, nor collaborations with those who backed the Memorandum", in a reference to the Popular Orthodox Rally (Laos) party and to independent MP and former ND minister Dora Bakoyannis, who now heads her own fledgling Democratic Alliance party.
Samaras further warned that he will not consent to "God-sent, non-institutional solutions".
"I was elected (to the ND leadership) to change everything and to give hope to the Greek people. I do not play petty-part games, nor do I owe anything to anyone save for hope to the Greek people," he said.
The ND leader further attributed recent rumors of internal party problems to "a war against ND" at a time when ND's policy is gaining ground in Greece and at a time when he himself was waging a struggle in Europe for Greece while the government policy is sliding into new impasses and Pasok was in a difficult position, and just ahead of the unveiling of the proposal being prepared by ND providing an alternative solution for the Greek economy.
