I Am Proud Of Being A Greek

The Marshall Plan Was After Destruction, And The U.s. Came To Our Help And Obviously This Was Very, Very Important For The Future Of Europe. I Think Now We Have All The Capabilities Of Doing It On Our Own And, In A Sense, We Have To.

The Greek People Do Not Want To Exit The Euro, And I Believe The Greek People Already Have Shown That They Have Made Major Sacrifices To Stay Within The Eurozone.

I Would Like To See Greece As A Case Study, An Opportunity For Europe To Strengthen Its Coordination Of Fiscal Policy.

I Will Always Be Upfront With The Greek People, So We Can Solve The Country's Problems Together.

Very Often, People Will Come Out And Say, 'greeks Aren't Doing Things, Greeks Aren't Making Changes, There's No Reform,' That Is Hogwash. We Have Made A Huge Effort. The Greek People Have Made A Huge Effort.
