Prime minister George Papandreou stressed that his government took office in order to proceed with major changes and lead the Greek society to certainty and security, and the creation of confidence between state and citizens, speaking after a meeting with local authorities on the island of Lefkada.
He said the great changes and growth must be effected in crisis conditions, and stressed that the working people and pensioners more easily realise the necessity of the measures than the various organised interests with their privileges.
Development, he continued, will be the result of an overall change, and not minor interventions, while he also placed special weight on education issues, stressing that the schools need to open up to the local societies.
