Look, the whole world wants to modernize, and when you look to what they mean by modernizing, they mean Americanize. Would a modern Greek prefer to live in Orange County than Piraeus? Yes. Absolutely.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
If I was a Greek citizen I'd be out there trying to bring down this monstrosity that has been put upon those people.
I will always be upfront with the Greek people, so we can solve the country's problems together.
What, ultimately, is Greece if it is not the people who live in this country? It's not the mountains and the plains.
I lived in Greece for about four years of my life, and living there had a huge impact on my life growing up. My father was very much adamant that we would learn about our culture. It's a very rich culture to be a part of since it has such a great history behind it. I definitely carry that in my job, and I am very passionate.
This is Port of Spain to me, a city ideal in its commercial and human proportions, where a citizen is a walker and not a pedestrian, and this is how Athens may have been before it became a cultural echo.
Tomorrow a new era starts for Greece.
If Greece had gone through a very normal political life, I may have not been in politics. But just the fact that I lived through huge upheavals and very difficult struggles and polarization and the barbarism of dictatorships - that made me feel that we had to change this country.
I am not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world.
It is important that the Greek people make decisions on important developments.
