The new election law will be approved by the present Parliament and the government is ready to withdraw certain of the proposals it has presented on the amendment of the election law. It is also ready to accept other proposals on the condition that they promote the modernization of the political system.

The above were stressed by Greek government spokesman Christos Protopapas in an interview with the Athens newspaper “Ethnos”. He points out that in order to reverse the climate in favor of the governing Socialist Party of PASOK changes and reforms are necessary at every level and called on the leading party members to place the interest of the party and the country above personal strategy.

Mr. Protopapas stated that PASOK's ticket needs refreshment through new candidates, stressing that this is necessary for election success.
