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.

Many People Have Been Pontificating, And Patronizing, And Moralizing, And Scapegoating, Saying You Greeks, You Are The Problem. I Would Say We Greeks Have A Problem. We Are Not The Problem.

I Have A Deep Sense Of Responsibility To My Country And Greek People.
