Main opposition PASOK-Movement for Change spokesperson Kostas Tsoukalas in an interview on Sunday with OPEN TV referred to the government's reshuffle. "The Prime Minister did not receive the message. The message was that there must be changes in the government, mainly at the level of policies that will support society, for the economy to run faster and for us to have the truth on the issue of Tempi. This social mandate was not fulfilled".
"The Prime Minister chose to proceed with a simple recycling of ministers, as if those who were deemed unsuccessful in one ministry would be deemed successful in another. By recycling those who left the government nine months ago, the same failed recipe continues. They look more like intra-party arrangements".
"Instead of dealing with the increasing tax arrears, the increasing private debt, the increasing bad loans, and the widening of social inequalities, the government is dealing with communication," he pointed out.
