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

Very often, people will come out and say, 'Greeks aren't doing things, Greeks aren't making changes, there's no reform,' That is hogwash. We have made a huge effort. The Greek people have made a huge effort.

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.

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

There is this concept of politics as a dirty game.
