Everyone needs to carry out his own personal revolution.

Every leader wants to put his or her imprint on the work that they do, and grow up in specific eras.

Today I want to send a message of optismism to all Greeks. Our road, our path, will be more stabilised. Our country will be in a better situation. We will be stronger.

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.

I have been supporting the European Union, but we are still a work in progress. We have to become more of a United States of Europe. We should talk about electing a president of the E.U., rather than having one selected from the heads of government.

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