If you put all the European countries together, we are the biggest economy in the world.

The structures in Europe in a globalising economy need to be modernised, need to be more integrated, need to be stronger.

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

I can officially state that my government and myself believe that all over Europe we need to open a debate on the 'drug question' in order to create more coherent and human policies with better perspectives. . . . The policy of criminalizing consumers has failed, creating many problems to our society.

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.

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

Everyone needs to carry out his own personal revolution.
