Economist, Member of
New Greek Parliament
Today, the people of
Greece gave a vote of confidence to hope. They used the ballot box, in this
splendid celebration of democracy, to put an end to a self-reinforcing crisis
that produces indignity in Greece and feeds Europe’s darkest forces.
Greek democracy today chose to stop going
gently into the night. Greek democracy resolved to rage against the dying of
the light. Fresh from receiving our democratic mandate, we call upon the people
of Europe and, indeed, the world over, to join us in a realm of shared,
sustainable prosperity.
