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.

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

The more there is a European solution to a theoretical, but possible, problem in the markets, the less we will have to talk about an I.M.F. solution.

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

Everyone needs to carry out his own personal revolution.

You can theorise about the options you have but in reality they are very specific.

If we were the problem, it would be very convenient, kick Greece out, everything's fine. But what happened to Spain? What about Portugal? What about Italy? What about the whole of the Eurozone? We need more cooperation and less simplification and prejudice about what has to happen.
