PASOK: Parliament should approve 4-month extension

Socialist PASOK party on Thursday demanded that Parliament approve a four-month loan extension that Athens requested from eurozone creditors, while at same time launching a stinging attack against ruling SYRIZA.

PASOK charged that the radical leftist government was attempting to bypass democratic procedures and Parliament by not bringing the deal up for approval by MPs.

PASOK also presented two lists apparently contravening SYRIZA’s so-called ” Thessaloniki program” — a spending and relief plan announced when it was in the opposition — with the terms the government agreed to with EZ creditors last week to gain the four-month extension.
