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

I will always be upfront with the Greek people, so we can solve the country's problems together.

Countries are not like financial markets. Social change cannot be executed as swiftly as credit-default swaps. You cannot sell short on social commitments and practical responsibilities.

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

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

Greece's history in the drachma was an up-and-down history, a roller coaster.

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