"Madam President, hundreds of thousands of Greek citizens of all ages and from all classes have been protesting peacefully – I repeat peacefully – over the past two weeks in town squares throughout the country.
I would like to make two points: firstly, we need to listen to them and to heed their concerns. We need to do this not only at national level, but also at European level. Our fellow citizens in towns throughout Greece are shouting to be heard in Brussels, in Strasbourg, everywhere.
Secondly, over and above any debate about the mistakes and misguided action of the Greek Government, we need to bear this in mind: in their evaluation of the policies being proposed and applied by Europe to deal with the crisis, our fellow citizens are saying to us: ‘We have our limits. Do not push us beyond our limits’. Clear and specific answers need to be given to these messages. Only then will Europe’s help in dealing with the crisis create a vision and hope among our fellow citizens."@en1
