I Will Always Be Upfront

I Have A Deep Sense Of Responsibility To My Country And Greek People.

The Structures In Europe In A Globalising Economy Need To Be Modernised, Need To Be More Integrated, Need To Be Stronger.

We Have Made Major Reforms In Greece. When I Took Over After A Landslide Victory We Had A Mandate For Change And I Knew My Major Focus Would Be Re-organizing The State.

At Times Of Distress, We All Like To Recall The Advice Of Fathers And Mothers. The Best Advice My Father Gave Me Was To Keep Faith And Deep Confidence In The Potential Of The Greek People; Nurture The Belief That They Can Do Things.

If We Were The Problem, It Would Be Very Convenient, Kick Greece Out, Everything's Fine. But What Happened To Spain? What About Portugal? What About Italy? What About The Whole Of The Eurozone? We Need More Cooperation And Less Simplification And Prejudice About What Has To Happen.
