There is this concept of politics as a dirty game.
From George Papandreou
Already people are saying we do need a change.
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.
I never thought of politics as a profession.
We are a country with great potential. We have the political will to make deep changes in a just and equitable way, to put our country back on a development path, to meet the challenges of a new world.
I will always be upfront with the Greek people, so we can solve the country's problems together.
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.
Previous governments, particularly the one before I took over, mismanaged the economy quite badly.
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 have been supporting the European Union, but we are still a work in progress. We have to become more of a United States of Europe. We should talk about electing a president of the E.U., rather than having one selected from the heads of government.
