I am proud of being a Greek of the diaspora.

I think there is a heritage which I’m proud of, which is a fight for democracy, a fight for social justice, a fight for freedom. My grandfather went to jail or exile six times in his life, fighting for his principles for democracy, or for his country. And my father twice.

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.

We had about 60 regions in Greece and now there are only 13. It'd be like cutting down 50 states to 13 and making it more efficient.

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

Everyone needs to carry out his own personal revolution.
