Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras pledged to bring his country’s economic reform plan back on track, promising sweeping state-asset sales that will boost investment and jobs, and help break the country’s recessionary spiral.
“The first battle this government must give is the battle of the obvious, the self-evident,” Samaras told lawmakers in Athens today, at the start of three days of debate on a motion of confidence in his government. “This is a government that must tell the truth from the very first, such as the truth that, once again, the fiscal adjustment program has genuinely gone off track.”
