		Samaras unveils Pol.An`s ideological manifesto ---------------------------------------------- Athens 04/07/1995 (ANA) Political Spring (Pol.An) leader and founder Antonis Samaras presented his party's ideological manifesto yesterday in a ceremony marking the second anniversary of his party's founding.
		Samaras said Pol.An was a "modern centrist party" separated by what he called "equal distances" from the other two main Greek political parties, ruling PASOK and main opposition New Democracy.
		Samaras, a former ND foreign minister, launched his political party exactly two years ago after he left ND during a disagreement on the handling of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) issue with Constantine Mitsotakis' government.

		According to Samaras, the EU council also settled the FYROM name issue, but his views were not vindicated by developments, as the new state continued to be called 'Macedonia' in EU documents.
		Relations between the premier and the foreign minister are clearly strained at this stage as a result of the FYROM issue, but the council of leaders adopts Samaras' position.
		The secession of New Democracy MP George Symbilidis, a close friend of ousted foreign minister Antonis Samaras, eliminates the parliamentary majority of the Mitsotakis administration, forcing it to abdicate.

		In a recent ALCO survey, ND voters rated Samaras as the second most “useful” politician among the ex-conservative cadres who seek to return to the party fold.
		The respondents also said Samaras was the most supportive of the opposition in the last polls, thereby highlighting ND followers’ feelings for the politician.
		Samaras embarked on an open collision course with Mitsotakis during the latter’s three-year tenure as prime minister (1990-1993), he launched his own party, and effectively led to early elections as ND’s parliamentary representation was reduced from 152 seats to 150.

		So, if Greece has a chance to see a conservative government emerging from the 2000 elections, it will be due to the fact that the smaller leftist parties can take away from PASOK many more votes than the smaller center-right can take away from ND.
		In fact, chances are that Political Spring, the party of hard-liner former ND foreign minister Antonis Samaras, may vanish after its second failure to exceed the threshold (it missed it by a few thousand votes in 1996).
		No one can predict with certainty whether PASOK can win back the voters that switched to KKE and DIKKI.
