After so many years in politics he should know that PASOK has every right to do what it denounces and denounce what it does. Just yesterday, for example, fellow president Nicolas blamed the prime minister for the <b>support measures,<\/b> when just seconds before he had said that most of them had been proposed by PASOK as well. And he did this not because of his shaky thinking but because of his confidence that for PASOK the <b>&#8220;other us&#8221; always applies.<\/b><\/p>\n<h3>Preferred<\/h3>\n<p>Finally the belief of fellow MEP Arvanitis that Greek voters (especially in Crete) are sold out is the official SYRIZA line.
