"Madam President, I, too, should like to take my turn in congratulating the rapporteur, Ms Bastos, on her detailed report on one of the most sensitive issues for the future of Greece.
I think that, from both a technical and a theoretical point of view, the priorities laid down in the report are along the right lines and the action proposed for the benefit of the younger generations is the right action.
However, I am trying to find the generation of young people who will enjoy the fair and ambitions proposals made in the Agenda. I cannot find that generation. On the contrary, I find a Ninja generation, a generation of no income, no job and no assets. That is what we are trying to fix now. I have been a lawyer for 40 years and a lot of people in my country think that I am a good lawyer. I should like to inform you that, for the last two years, I have had to go back to school in order to learn about labour legislation.
In the name of the crisis, we are laying everything to waste. I have this to say, because I do not want to run over the little time I have: we all need to understand that work is not just a means of earning a livelihood; it is a means of earning self-respect. We need to give the young people of Europe self-respect."@en1
