A main opposition New Democracy (ND) spokesman on Sunday evening issued a scathing attack against government vice-president Theodoros Pangalos (photo). The spokesman called for Pangalos to resigne following eyebrow raising comments earlier in the day referring to a restructuring of Greece’s foreign debt.
In published statements appearing in an Athens daily on Sunday as well as comments on a state-run television station, Pangalos left open the possibility of a restructuring of the debt load.
“Either the vice-president of the Papandreou government is investing in the country’s bankruptcy, as the prime minister says of those that refer to a debt restructuring, or without knowing it, Mr. Pangalos exposed to the Greek people the true substance and purpose of Mr. Papandreou’s recent election blackmail,” ND spokesman Panos Panagiotopoulos said.
The main opposition party demanded Pangalos to be eliminated from the government.
