I Am Proud Of Being A Greek

As Long As I Feel I Am Doing What I Think Is Right And Just For My Country, For The Greek People, That Is Enough For Me. Saving Greece From This Crisis Was The First Thing On The Agenda. We Are Now On A Much More Normalised Road.

I Would Say We Are A Friend In Need And I Am Sure That The Greek People Would Very Much Welcome The Choice Of The British People To Come And Enjoy Greece, First Of All, But Also That Would Be A Sign Of Support.

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.

There Is This Concept Of Politics As A Dirty Game. It's A Difficult Game, But It Doesn't Have To Be Dirty. I Think This Is What We Need To Bring To Politics. I Think Politics Around The World Has Very Often Been Captured By Big Interests - 'lobbies' They Call Them In The States.

At Times Of Distress, We All Like To Recall The Advice Of Fathers And Mothers. The Best Advice My Father Gave Me Was To Keep Faith And Deep Confidence In The Potential Of The Greek People; Nurture The Belief That They Can Do Things.
