I am the head of the Socialists, but the party is not my property.

Europe and the euro zone have no reason, rationally, to push Greece out of the euro. But this is a system in which many parties, many countries, many governments, many electorates participate and we could have events which, rationally, are not controllable.

Greece is a medium-sized country in Europe. Our debt accounts for only 2.5 percent of the total of all members of the euro zone.

Voters will decide how they want to be governed.

The vast majority of Greeks accept the need for reform and want to keep our country inside the euro zone.

The country needs someone with experience and determination to make tough decisions. All the money aside, it is important that Greece restore its reputation.
