'PASOK Is the Custodian of the Country’s National Strategy,' Says its Leader Venizelos

venizelos_390_0606PASOK’s main aim is to receive the third mandate to form a government and be a catalyst for developments, party leader Evangelos Venizelos said on Saturday, speaking at a meeting with party secretaries at a central hotel in Athens, Greece.
“PASOK is the custodian of the country’s national strategy,” said Venizelos, who is also the current Greek government Vice President and Foreign Minister, noting that his party is not “hooked” on power.
“We have an obligation to deliver the country intact on election day and we will, there will be a safe framework. For the day after the elections, the responsibility lies with the people who have the power to determine their fate,” he said, adding that this is “the moment of truth, you have to prove everything you say and that’s where we’ll get to know each other again.”
Venizelos noted that his party is heading towards elections with a very clear political position that is real, and reality is difficult. “But there is no other way,” he said and the party will analyze all those details next Saturday, when it will present its program.

Commenting on Former Premier and leader of PASOK George Papandreou who formed a new party, Venizelos said: “PASOK is asked to give a battle in tough conditions because, apart from everything else, we have the decision of Mr Papandreou to form his own private party, something that had been decided for some time and there was no need to keep up appearances.”

Venizelos added that it was pointless trying to present proposals, show good will, create unity and keep everyone in the ballot, under the emblem and name of PASOK.
