The position of the Greek ruling party on the name issue is clear: name, for all uses (erga omnes), including a geographic qualifier, said Maria Spyraki, New Democracy's candidate for a seat in the European Parliament.

As reported by the Macedonian Information Agency correspondent in Athens, these days Spyraki is visiting the northern part of Greece, i.e. the places close to the Greek-Macedonian border, within the European Parliament elections campaign, scheduled on May 25 in Greece.

"Former Prime Minister, Kostas Karamanlis, has blocked the neighboring country's access to NATO even under the provisional reference FYROM", said Spyraki in a speech held in Kilkis, stressing the steadfast position of Samaras' party on the name issue.


The biggest opposition party, SYRIZA, within its campaign, has called on Samaras several times to give a clear view on this matter.

The leader of the radical left, Alexis Tsipras, has blamed the Greek Prime Minister to be the main culprit for the failure to solve the name issue for so many years.

"Once Samaras decided to tackle a great national issue, it ended ingloriously. I refer to the Macedonia issue. This matter has not been solved for 25 years, although we all stated then what is the official position of the country today – a compound name with a geographical determinant. That was offered to us in the Pinero package, and Samaras, as a Foreign Minister, refused it. Even today, I don’t know his position on this matter," Tsipras said a few days ago in an interview with the Greek Alfa TV channel.
