As the Vice President of the Government states in detail:
«Greece-Europe-Karamanlis!
Greece’s accession to European communities was a courageous decision by Constantine Karamanlis, who like today, 46 years ago, he signed Greece’s accession treaty to the EEC.
If it had succumbed to the cries of populists, today Greece would be a Balkan country, without power and without voice, in troubled times.
And she would desperately look for her access to the EU!
Our course was of course not difficult, but it has a clear positive sign.
Nor has the European Union be unmistakable. But without it, our difficulties would be multiple.
The story, then, justified Karamanlis.
And with him New Democracy: The line he also put Greece in Europe when others pushed it to the cliff.
