"Mr President, at the recent G8 summit, you discussed the global economy and agreed that efforts should focus on the objectives of the viability of public finances, economic recovery and action to address unemployment. All this is being pursued for the benefit of society and the public.
However, if we take the example of Greece, tens and hundreds of thousands of citizens recently took to the square and the streets around the Hellenic Parliament quite spontaneously, without being directed to do so, angrily calling for a decent standard of living and prospects. You must agree, Mr President, that no policy can be effective if it is not backed or, at the very least, tolerated by society. The policy in Greece is basically confined to a dilemma between exhausting austerity or bankruptcy.
Do these social developments worry you? They are a major political issue. What message do you have to send to these people who are seeking, in a dignified and peaceful manner, prospects and a better future for themselves, their families and their children?"@en1
