europe capacity
We in Europe have great capacities.
thinking europe important
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.
believe government order
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.
needs revolution
Everyone needs to carry out his own personal revolution.
commitment agree governance
This is global governance in the making. But we must agree, and agree to a binding commitment.
ancient ancient-greece greece
In ancient Greece, politics and the market were not decoupled.
pain greek would-be
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.
cutting states greece
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.
country world turns
My hope is that we will turn Greece into maybe the most transparent country in the world with everything on the web.
dirty thinking games
There is this concept of politics as a dirty game. It's a difficult game, but it doesn't have to be dirty. I think this is what we need to bring to politics. I think politics around the world has very often been captured by big interests - 'lobbies' they call them in the States.
dirty naughty games
There is this concept of politics as a dirty game.
country responsibility justice
We stand united, facing the big responsibility to change our country into a nation of justice, solidarity, humanity and green development.
said take-me i-can
I have always said I will be in politics to serve as best as I can and it will take me wherever it will take me.
roller-coaster coasters up-and-down
Greece's history in the drachma was an up-and-down history, a roller coaster.
