GREEK PARTY SLAMS BRITISH PM OVER MIGRATION STATEMENT

B92 : GREEK PARTY SLAMS BRITISH PM OVER MIGRATION STATEMENT

ATHENS -- Greek party PASOK is hoping that British PM David Cameron will
take back his statement that Britain will close its borders for Greeks if
they exit the eurozone.



PASOK expressed hope on Thursday that Cameron "will either retract or
rephrase his statement" on possible "closing of British borders for Greeks"
if their country left the eurozone.



"Is Great Britain, which is not a member of the eurozone, so interested in
the unity and stability of the eurozone that it is threatening policing
measures which violate all principles, basic freedoms and rules of the
European Union?" the party, which is a member of Greece's new three-party
conservative-led government, said in a statement, ANA news agency has
reported.

PASOK believes that "it would be preferable if the British prime minister,
rather than making remarks that are insulting or create a false sense of
nervousness in the markets, elaborated on the information regarding the
manipulation of the Libor interest rate by directors of British banks and
took better care of the fiscal figures of his country."
