I Take Office During The Most Difficult

Our Eurozone Partners Have Made It Clear: The Choice Is Between Staying In Or Getting Out Of The Eurozone.

I Take Office During The Most Difficult Moment In The Country's Recent History. The Country Can Be Saved - It's Up To Us. I Think It Is Obvious For Those Who Support This Government To Undertake The Commitment And Ensure That Our Country's Euro Membership Is Not Endangered.

Dealing With Greece's Problems Will Be More Difficult If Greece Is Not A Member Of The Eurozone.

And Judging What Is Appropriate Or Not Appropriate For A Country, I Think It Is Important In Particular In Judging What Is The Appropriate Economic Policy Framework, One Should Take Into Account The Overall Political Environment And The Institutional Framework Within Which Economic Policy Operates.

I Am Not A Politician But I Have Dedicated The Biggest Part Of My Professional Life To Economic Policy Both In Greece And Europe.
