"Mr President, I want to say a number of very short things. Firstly, I want to say that the people of Greece deserve our respect and our solidarity. I listened to other colleagues telling the Greek people that they should leave the eurozone, that they should leave Europe, giving them advice. We should listen to the people of Greece and, as I understand it, despite the differences that exist between the political parties in Greece, the great majority of Greek people want to remain in the eurozone and in Europe – and they need our support. They are the people we should listen to rather than the ideology on either side of me here.
Yes, we can do more, and yes, the Greek Government needs to do more. There is a future for the Greek economy in the eurozone. Having come through the crisis of the last seven years, it is important that we resolve this outstanding issue before June so that there is some certainty for the Greek people as they come to the next phase of implementation. I am sick and tired of hearing that there has been no change in EU policy: there has been change in maturities, and on interest rate policy.
There has been no change from the International Monetary Fund over the course of the past seven years. Had they shown the same flexibility that we in the eurozone have shown, Greece would be in a better place now."@en1
