At times of distress, we all like to recall the advice of fathers and mothers. The best advice my father gave me was to keep faith and deep confidence in the potential of the Greek people nurture the belief that they can do things.
My hope is that we will turn Greece into maybe the most transparent country in the world with everything on the web.
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.
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.
