Unfortunately, Corruption Is Widespread In Government Agencies

Greece Has Great Strengths, But Much Of This Potential Has Been Wasted. That's Because Of A Wider Political System, But Also Because Of A Lack Of An Institutional Framework.

I Never Thought Of Politics As A Profession.

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.

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.

Greece Has Given Europe The Opportunity To Fix A Defect In The Euro Zone, That Is The Fact That We Did Not Have A Fiscal Union. Now Steps Have Been Taken To Begin That Process. And There Is More Solidarity From Nation To Nation, And That Is A Good Thing. That Has Been Greece's Gift To Europe.
