Everyone should respect the sovereignty of the EU countries.

Those who have a lot of money in Greece invest in housing abroad. It's all immoral. The Greek crisis is structural, but also political.

Without Greece, it is not possible to preserve the integrity of the European phenomenon.

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

Monuments obtain their full worth through their complete use.

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.
