PASOK rings in the changes
No one can predict the outcome of the changes being brought about within the PASOK party by its leader George Papandreou. All right-minded citizens, however, irrespective of their political affiliations, hope they will be successful. Greece needs a robust opposition party that can take up positions on and offer solutions to the major problems the country is facing. It needs a PASOK that has ideas to put forward, whose aims are not restricted to ephemeral partisan gains but include the country's long-term interests. |

COMMENTARY |

Does PASOK want growth?
It would be a great mistake for PASOK leader George Papandreou to try to extend the polarization within his party to society at large. If, for example, he attempts to reject the demands of cadres questioning his leadership and instead chooses to engage in populist diversionary tactics, such as announcing handouts should his party come to power, he will neither benefit the workers nor safeguard PASOK's unity.
Papandreou is well aware that attacks against him, both from within PASOK and the media, are not due to his party's diminishing returns at the polls. |
