Too early to make European election predictions
Commenting on the predictions for the European elections featured on the new website predict09.eu PES President Poul Nyrup Rasmussen said "It is too early to predict the outcome of the European elections."
He added "In any case, some of the predictions are highly questionable. For example they forecast that the Italian Partito Democratico will be split between the Socialist and Liberal groups whereas the Partito Democratico has said it will not be divided. I am confident that the PES and the Partito Democratico will be together."
"Our aim is to be the largest group and we have a real opportunity to achieve it."
"It is the voters who decide. There is a political choice between us and our conservative and liberal opponents. People are looking for a way out of this terrible crisis. We are the only European party to offer a clear and comprehensive plan to beat the recession."
