Samaras: 'ND emerging strong and responsible'
Main opposition New Democracy (ND) party leader Antonis Samaras, commenting on Sunday night on the outcome of the second round of the local government elections, said that "the second round confirmed the political conclusions of the first Sunday."
He congratulated those who won for their victory, as well as those who lost for their struggle and reassured that ND will stand by those elected.
"ND is emerging renewed, strong and responsible," Samaras said and explained that it is emerging strong because it won 33 prefectures as against six that it would have won with the percentages of 2009, renewed because it won five regions, responsible because in cases, such as in Attica, it dared to break establishments and propose new persons.
Samaras referred to the percentage of the first Sunday, saying that PASOK's lead fell from the 10.5 units of last year's elections to a difference of less than two.
The ND leader also spoke of the abstention, saying that public opinion showed that it rejects the deadlocks.
"We received the message," Samaras said, adding that "with our proposals and positions we want to give hopes to the people. And those who voted and those who did not vote, called for a change in course, because with its policy the government is leading economy to suffocation and society to desperation."
