The allegation was prompted by the massive revision of the 2009 budget deficit forecast by the new PASOK government elected in October 2009, from "6–8%" (estimated by the previous New Democracy government) to 12.7% (later revised to 15.7%).
这是由2009年10月选出的新社会主义政府预测的关于2009 年预算赤字的大规模修订导致的，从"6-8%"（由前政府估算）到12.7%（后修订为 15.4%）。
