Greece has great strengths, but much of this potential has been wasted. That's because of a wider political system, but also because of a lack of an institutional framework.

My hope is that we will turn Greece into maybe the most transparent country in the world with everything on the web.

It is important that the Greek people make decisions on important developments.

The structures in Europe in a globalising economy need to be modernised, need to be more integrated, need to be stronger.

The real problem in Greece is not cutting taxes, it's making sure that we don't have tax evasion.

This idea that you're a successful tough guy if you evade taxes and deceive the state has got to change.

I have a deep sense of responsibility to my country and Greek people.
