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

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.

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

But sovereign debt is a wider question not only in Europe but across the globe. While every country is a unique case, I think it's not an issue of countries acting on their own. We need a more coordinated strategy not only in Europe but around the world.

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

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.
