ND replies to SYRIZA, accuses it of seeking to artificially create tension
New Democracy accused its main election rival SYRIZA of seeking to artificially create tension, in response to a SYRIZA announcement earlier on Thursday.
"It is to be expected that SYRIZA's leadership, in their panic, will distort, sling mud and create artificial tension," ND said, adding that it would not follow SYRIZA down the path it has chosen.
Clarifying statements made by ND leader Vangelis Meimarakis, ND stressed that his criticism had been confined to those public-sector employees that had been found derelict in their duties or corrupt.
"It has been made clear many times that we are fully opposed to ideas of revanchism. We respect the overwhelming majority of public-sector employees that fulfill their mission and we will try to coordinate our action with them for a state that is functional and friendly to the citizen," the announcement said.
