change people
Already people are saying we do need a change.
people effort greek
Very often, people will come out and say, 'Greeks aren't doing things, Greeks aren't making changes, there's no reform,' That is hogwash. We have made a huge effort. The Greek people have made a huge effort.
mother father people
At times of distress, we all like to recall the advice of fathers and mothers. The best advice my father gave me was to keep faith and deep confidence in the potential of the Greek people; nurture the belief that they can do things.
people support choices
I would say we are a friend in need and I am sure that the Greek people would very much welcome the choice of the British people to come and enjoy Greece, first of all, but also that would be a sign of support.
mean people greek
Politics also means educating people. It's important to speak openly with our fellow Greeks, to tell them what our problems are and that we have to change something.
people decision greek
It is important that the Greek people make decisions on important developments.
country people greek
I will always be upfront with the Greek people, so we can solve the country's problems together.
people greek problem
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.
business government people
An elected government making huge changes with the consent of its people, is being undermined by concentrated powers in unregulated markets-powers which go beyond those of any individual government.
country responsibility people
I have a deep sense of responsibility to my country and Greek people.
believe sacrifice people
The Greek people do not want to exit the euro. And I believe the Greek people already have shown that they have made major sacrifices to stay in the euro zone.
affect consumer deeper deeply europe jobs lack market
Europe is a strong market for the U.S. If it has problems, if there's a lack of consumer confidence, if there's a deeper recession, this will deeply affect jobs in the U.S.
deeper favour pool strength
Europe has a lot of strength. We need to pool that strength, and I am very much in favour of that - more of a deeper political union.
difficult odyssey road
We are on a difficult course, on a new Odyssey for Greece, but we know the road to Ithaca and have charted the waters.
