Greece's History In The Drachma

Countries Are Not Like Financial Markets. Social Change Cannot Be Executed As Swiftly As Credit-default Swaps. You Cannot Sell Short On Social Commitments And Practical Responsibilities.

Everyone Needs To Carry Out His Own Personal Revolution.

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.

We Had About 60 Regions In Greece And Now There Are Only 13. It'd Be Like Cutting Down 50 States To 13 And Making It More Efficient.

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.
