Sources within main opposition party New Democracy asserted on Thursday that ND leader Antonis Samaras will not support any change to the agreements concerning the transitional government’s mission and role, including suggestions that the next elections be postponed, a position he took during his meeting on Friday with Prime Minister Lucas Papademos. The party is also likely to oppose proposals for a political party leaders’ council to discuss these issues.
“The things agreed between the political party leaders are obvious and do not change. We do not understand the point of such a meeting,” ND sources told in response to leaks from PASOK that the role and mission of the transitional government needs clarification.
The main opposition also insists that the next elections must take place as close to February 19 as possible, as already decided, depending on the progress of negotiations for the PSI.
