“In ancient Greece, politics and the market were not decoupled.”

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.
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.
The fact that we're going through a crisis is an opportunity for Europe to be more coordinated and more integrated. We're actually talking about a European Monetary Fund or euro bonds, about guarantees for countries, about economic governance in the European Union. That shows the strength of Europe.
My hope is that we will turn Greece into maybe the most transparent country in the world with everything on the web.
