Interior minister on implementation of new election law; opposition reaction (RECASTS).
(From Athens News Agency)
Interior Minister Prokopis Pavlopoulos on Sunday called on the main opposition PASOK party to agree to bringing forward the implementation of the new election law, making it valid from the next general elections. The law will currently go into force for the elections held immediately after these.
Pavlopoulos said in a statement that the government's intention is both positive and sincere. He pointed out that in February 2008, during the ratification of the new election law that gives an extra 10-seat bonus to the first party, he had stressed that a stable government is necessary in the present crucial conjuncture.
The minister also pointed to his statements stressing the need for all to agree and reiterated the same thing now, while adding that it depends on PASOK to help in this direction.
The votes of 200 deputies in the 300-seat Parliament are required to enable the new law to go into force in the next elections.
Similar statements had been made to the Sunday newspaper "Vima tis Kyriakis" by Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis and ruling New Democracy party Secretary Lefteris Zagoritis.
