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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I will always be upfront with the Greek people, so we can solve the country's problems together.
People try to make a Greek tragedy of my life, and they can't do it. I'm too happy.
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.
I have a deep sense of responsibility to my country and Greek people.
We Greeks want change. We know there are problems in our system. We have great potential but we need to manage our country well. Now that hasn't been done over the last decades. And that is, of course, what we are paying for.
I fear the Greeks, even when they bring gifts.
We Greeks are the blacks of Europe.
How can a parliamentarian or a leader in a country say, on the one hand, that we're going to support Greece but at the same time say that Greeks are lazy?
I love the Greeks. There's no messing around - it's all do or die with them.
If I was a Greek citizen I'd be out there trying to bring down this monstrosity that has been put upon those people.
