I Never Thought About Becoming A Politician.

If Greece Had Gone Through A Very Normal Political Life, I May Have Not Been In Politics. But Just The Fact That I Lived Through Huge Upheavals And Very Difficult Struggles And Polarization And The Barbarism Of Dictatorships - That Made Me Feel That We Had To Change This Country.

First Of All, Greece Won't Go Down. We're Talking About A Country That Is Capable Of Making Change. Europe Will Not Allow The Destabilization Of The 27-country Euro Zone. But If There Were No Action, Then Markets Would Start Becoming Jittery About Other Countries - And Not Only Spain And Portugal, But Other Countries In The European Union.

We Stand United, Facing The Big Responsibility To Change Our Country Into A Nation Of Justice, Solidarity, Humanity And Green Development.

We In Europe Have Great Capacities.

An Elected Government Making Huge Changes With The Consent Of Its People, Is Being Undermined By Concentrated Powers In Unregulated Markets-powers Which Go Beyond Those Of Any Individual Government.
