Papandreou warns Strauss-Kahn

The Prime Minister had a phone conversation with the head of the IMF, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, expressing his discontent about the announcement of the representatives of Troika in their press conference.

Late on Friday night the government representative for the first time made an announcement at 1 am, in which he characterized the statements of Troika as unacceptable and asked the foreign representatives not to make any more announcements. Through the government representative, Mr.Petalotis, the government said that it is "a matter of dignity" and of "interfering in the internal matters of the country" !

Information mentions that the climate became tense when government officials realized that the image of the country is being damaged.

According to sources, this collision with the Troika is fortifying the feeling that the country might soon go towards elections. It is possible that the government is soon going to embark on an "anti-Troika" stand, saying that the programme that is being implemented is the one the government believes in, not a foreign power.
