I Am Proud Of Being

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.

We Have Made Major Reforms In Greece. When I Took Over After A Landslide Victory We Had A Mandate For Change And I Knew My Major Focus Would Be Re-organizing The State.

This Is Global Governance In The Making. But We Must Agree, And Agree To A Binding Commitment.

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.

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.
