Papandreou accused the government of ''deceiving Parliament by ratifying a budget in December which does not stand, of deceiving everyone with promises of mild adjustment without new taxes, of deceiving the Greek people when it promised everything to popular classes before the elections and of taking measures now which will intensify poverty, unemployment and indigence.''
The opposition leader said all this is accompanied by the excuse that PASOK is to blame for everything, adding that they are convincing no one since they have already been in power for a year and it is their budget that is not being carried out.
Papandreou wondered who benefits from this policy of the government and said those who do not benefit are the pensioner, housewife, farmer, young man, working woman, professional, the citizen belonging to low and medium income brackets and Greece.
