Markets are saying pretty much what I'm saying too: that Greece is doing what it can, but that Greece is not going to be able to carry the weight of all of Europe and the other problems that Europe has.

Despite the deep reforms we are making, traders and speculators have forced interest rates on Greek bonds to record highs.

People would say you look weak if you're not cursing the opposition and driving around in a big black car while always wearing a tie. Above all, to be 'strong' you're always supposed to be giving orders.

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

My hope is that we will turn Greece into maybe the most transparent country in the world with everything on the web.

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