I Never Thought Of Politics As A

How Can A Parliamentarian Or A Leader In A Country Say, On The One Hand, That We're Going To Support Greece But At The Same Time Say That Greeks Are Lazy?

There Is This Concept Of Politics As A Dirty Game.

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

If We Were Going To Default, We Would Have Decided That Many Months Ago. It Would Be Wrong For The Greek Economy, It Would Be Wrong For The European Economy, It Would Make Things Worse In The End. That's Why We're Taking The Pain And Making These Structural Reforms, And We're On Target.

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.
