I will always be upfront with the Greek people, so we can solve the country's problems together.

We're on our way to Greece, in the hands of a confused, foolish government. It's got to stop. It's got to stop.

We need a great president.

The country needs someone with experience and determination to make tough decisions. All the money aside, it is important that Greece restore its reputation.

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.

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.

Today, as an independent, an entrepreneur, and a former mayor, I believe we need a president who is a problem solver, not a bomb thrower. Someone who can bring members of Congress together to get things done. And I know Hillary Clinton can do that because I saw it firsthand.

If we were the problem, it would be very convenient - kick Greece out, everything's fine. What would happen to Spain, what about Portugal, what about Italy, what about the whole of the euro zone? We need more cooperation and less simplification and prejudice.

Dealing with Greece's problems will be more difficult if Greece is not a member of the eurozone.

We will do whatever we could do to keep Greece inside the euro and inside Europe.
