I Think There Is A Heritage Which

First Of All, Greece Won't Go Down. We're Talking About A Country That Is Capable Of Making Change. Europe Will Not Allow The Destabilization Of The 27-country Euro Zone. But If There Were No Action, Then Markets Would Start Becoming Jittery About Other Countries - And Not Only Spain And Portugal, But Other Countries In The European Union.

I Am Proud Of Being A Greek Of The Diaspora.

We Greeks Want Change. We Know There Are Problems In Our System. We Have Great Potential But We Need To Manage Our Country Well. Now That Hasn't Been Done Over The Last Decades. And That Is, Of Course, What We Are Paying For.

The Marshall Plan Was After Destruction, And The U.s. Came To Our Help And Obviously This Was Very, Very Important For The Future Of Europe. I Think Now We Have All The Capabilities Of Doing It On Our Own And, In A Sense, We Have To.

I Can Officially State That My Government And Myself Believe That All Over Europe We Need To Open A Debate On The 'drug Question' In Order To Create More Coherent And Human Policies With Better Perspectives. . . . The Policy Of Criminalizing Consumers Has Failed, Creating Many Problems To Our Society.
