I cannot allow a third party to decide on my country's future.

Our first goal is to stop the recession and start with recovery.

The best way for someone to govern is to set an example.

I have always believed that this idea of having a nation go through this very painful five or six years of continuous recession with high unemployment would be detrimental for the economy and the society.

Other countries have access to the markets, whereas Greece does not. Therefore, we have to get liquidity through the ECB.

I am fully aware of the critical moments we face as a country.
