Conversely, when asked if the election has been turned into a referendum on the memorandum or will serve as a vote of confidence in the government, Kaklamanis' primary opponent, PASOK-backed Giorgos Kaminis, said: "The answer is quite simple: Our coalition is not just backed by PASOK, for citizens to consider it as such … The prime minister, on his part, as the head of the government, has to deal with major national issues, both on the domestic and international front; in the wake of the economic crisis, therefore, he formulates his policies on several levels, and with many dilemmas."
Премиерот, од своја страна, како шеф на владата, мора да се справува со големите национални прашања, како на домашен, така и на меѓународен фронт; затоа, поради економската криза, тој ја формулира својата политика на неколку нивоа, и со многу дилеми.“
