I Have Always Said I

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.

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.

I Never Thought About Becoming A Politician. But During The Military Dictatorship, My Grandfather Was Put In Prison Six Times And My Father Twice. If My Family And My Country Didn't Have This History, I Might Be A Professor Somewhere Today.

Markets Are Saying Pretty Much What I'm Saying Too: That Greece Is Doing What It Can, But That Greece Is Not Going To Be Able To Carry The Weight Of All Of Europe And The Other Problems That Europe Has.

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.
