We stand united, facing the big responsibility to change our country into a nation of justice, solidarity, humanity and green development.

We have made major reforms in Greece. When I took over after a landslide victory we had a mandate for change and I knew my major focus would be re-organizing the state.

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

In ancient Greece, politics and the market were not decoupled.

There is this concept of politics as a dirty game.

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

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.
