Thursday. This is after greece voted no to proposed bailout terms. Mr. Tsipras has submitted another request. This is an hour long talk on the future of greece. [applause] thank you very much mr. President. President , esteemed members, it is a great honor to address the Democratic Forum in europe. It is an honor to be able to talk about key representatives of the people. At the official time my country and the European Union as a whole. I find myself here only a few days after the verdict of the people. After we chose to give the floor directly to ask the greek people directly and let them be part of the negotiations. We have not gotten an answer to double the efforts in order to get economically sound for to greek problem without repeating the mistakes of the past that condemned the economy. For a period that was neverending and an impact of severity that hurt the economy in a vicious cycle. The creative response by the greek people at a time when there was such pressure with the bank closing, with the campaign and the media televising that meant an end to talks and an end to negotiations. [applause] we have to listen to what they said. This was a courageous choice by the greek people and this is not a decision of breaking off relations with europe. It is one of going back to a time when the founding principles of european unification at the arch of democracy and of solidarity and going back to mutual respects and ecologies. It is a Crystal Clear message. This is a Crystal Clear message that europe our common European Union, will either be democratic or it will have eeimim immense problems surviving. The problems between the greek government and partners to reconfirm the jewel forms of respect in europe for the European Union and also from the democratic choice of our people. My government and our government, can talk to other governments five and a half mosquitos ago and the programs have been in place for the past five and a half years. Responsible for the impasse when the Greek Economy finds itself in and the impact which overall europe finds itself in with the choices that have been made dont just concern the past five and a half months. They extend over five and a half years with the implementation of programs which have not help europe go out out of the crisis it faces. And then the assurd the house that quite a part from the crisis, we will continue with our reform undertaken. But lets not forget the fact for the past five years the greek people has made a tremendous effort for adjustment, a very harsh and difficult process of adjustment. But this has exhausted the resilience and the patience of the greek people. This is not just something which has been confirmed to grease. Other countries have we respect the sacrifices and efforts they have made. However, nowhere have the programs been so harsh and so longlasting as it is in greece. There is no exaggeration to say that my country has over the five years been transformed into a laboratory. However this experiment, i think all of us have to accept hasnt been a success. Over these five years we have seen skyrocketing of povty and unemployment has soared and social marginalization increases as has the public debt which is now 180 of gdp. And today, the majority of the greek people quite apart from our own assistment this is the simple fact we have to face and accept. A majority of the greek people feels they have no other choice other than to demand they be given a way out of this impasse and this is dead end. We have to imelement that decision and that verdict. We demand an agreement with our neighbors but one which gives us a sign we are on the longbasting bases getting from the crisis which will demonstrate to us what it is like at the end of the tunnel. An agreement which will bring about the credible and necessary reforms. That is clearly necessary. We have to recognize that over the past five and a half years reforms have been put into place which have been broadened on what pensions can take what employers can put up with and what they can stand for ordinary citizens. We need policy of redistribution on necessary for the middle class, for the working class and we must have a basison when we can broseed. The proposal we have made is one which involve credible reforms with a certain degree of burdensharing which does not bring recession aero effects with it. We need to ensure the mediumterm funding of our country with development and Growth Program because we have to put on the table on agenda for growth because otherwise there is no way we are going to exit from this crisis. And our prime objective must be to combat unemployment and encourage entrepreneurship and clearly our proposal always contains the demand for under undertaking that we will see genuine dialogue and genuine negation negationnu negotiation negotiations in order to get an answer to the question of substantiateability of public debt. We Must Find Solutions to the real problem however difficult the solutions may be in practice. Our proposal has been submitted. It is one that meets the requirements. Today we are working with the support plans in the next two or three days. We have undertaken to bring forward concrete proposals in detail. And i am confidant that in the next few days we will be able to meet the oblayigations of the iscrucial time in in the best interof the greece and also for the eurozone. This money should be given to greece. In addition starting in august of 2014 we have got to dispatch and give a chance to continue untils the subject of june. It was not our government in terror from others. The program has not been implemented. It was not implemented then not because shopping circumstances can be left behind. There is a program then and the Program Night is the position to be right and it has to be right and the public support and acceptance. Ladies and gentlemen over the same period because of the billion in debt. We also had an obligation to leave pay to the same institutions to finance. I am not one of those politicians to claim that those responsible for the words of greece are at foreigners. Greece has gotten to the verge of bankruptcy because for many, many years, documents, the government, have been creating a clientless government. They have strengthened the hands of corruption. They have created and nurtured a nexus between political and economic power. They have allowed people to riot and that is not right. In accordance with the rules, 10 of greeks simply have 56 of the National Wealth and 10 in a time of austerity they not shared the pressure. This is not justice. To repair the programs we have not made things better on the country, they are made things worse. They were supposed to bring about response but these reforms are not. They collapsed under the excessive view of enlightened and testified to national officials. None of the reforms have helped when it comes to the nexus between the political establishment, the oligarchs and the banks and that threesided ring. None of the reforms have improved the functioning and efficiency of the mechanisms of state which is inward to watching the selfish interest rather than the common interest. Our proposals are based on genuine reforms whose purpose is to change the face. These are reforms that previous governmental regimes didnt want to put in place. Effectively tackling the oligarchy and the cartel of the interest we have not got to turn the page of that. We must get a handle on development. We must get traction under the difficulties and this is when both parties are ones we are going to weed out with our partners. Today we come with strong pressure and we are determined not to have a class with europe but to tackle heads on the establishments in the fancy and change the mindset which has taken us and the eurozone down. Ladies and gentlemen europe finds itself at a crucial crossroad. The greek crisis is only a manifestation of the euro zone to find a lasting solution to the self healing debt crisis and lead the european this is not exclusively a greek problem. This is a european problem. And european problems require european solutions. Look at history, there is a history of conflict but conflict leading to compromise. There is history of convergence as well. It is history of unity and not additions. And this is why we talked about united europe and that is not a devoted europe. At this time we are told establishment to produce a lot of fear compromise which will avoid a great amount of negotiations and this is line with the traditions of european and all of us have taken the measures of the situation and i believe together we can rise to the challenge. [applause] thank you. Welcome to the european parriment. Bf addressing the situation in greece i believe that the European Parliament also should be regularly involved in making the decisions of the European Council in the presence of our president. I have said in the past and today i will address the principles of european culture. For example, decency partnership in the way we deal with each other as friends. This presents a government that has said a lot of things in recent weeks. This is an unleashing of migrants to the rest of europe if this settlements were not made as we were. I believe or i would have thought they should apologize for the utterly unacceptable statements. Unfortunately he passed over them in silence. Reliability and confidence. In 2016 as the first European Conference you guarantee that you will present reform programs up until now there are no specific proposals from greece but from the basis of nugoings negotiation negotiations and without that you are destroying confidence in europe. You are talking about dignity, but that means choice honestly and the government is said to the greek people the back to closing because the evil ecb is wishing to wrap up pressure. The people of greaseece are told the banks are going to open but they are still closed. You are not telling people the truth and that is not dignified politics. I would like to continue to express the dignity. Dignity is involved in terms of who your friends are. Look around this chamber and you will see to the far left and the far right you have a lot of applause. I think castro wrote you a letter of congrats on your triumps triumphs. Seems to me you are surrounding yourself with the wrong friends. Please continue mr. President. May i Say Something else about dignity . The dignity of other people in europe. If you are talking about a fair cut, they dont like people because it is extraneous Financial Institutions that will pay for this. It is going to be paid for by 5 billion and it is going to be the nationals in poland. It seems we must look at those peoples dignity. Ordinary people in other eu countries. Mr. President , i would like to bring out to the principle the concept of solidarity. It is in dire straits. You are also having a bulgarian and who knows what the situation of people is in people in bullgarbulu buluthe with the with standard of living is lower in five eu countries than greece. And i would like to add, the culture when it comes to hope people need hope in the future. Now, last year youououououday, and in 2009 they were facing a big economic catastophre but they sorted ort their budget and they have faith in the future now instilled in their people. It seems you are not standing for hope. In your approach and the last concept of democracy, demomeracy demomeracy and you one moment please one moment please mr. President , one moment please. He is able to use this speaking time effectively so i think if there is a quite time he will be able to meet his speaking time. Democracy involves people sitting and listening. We know that. You have the floor once more. I was grateful for the applause it shows the people trying to preserve democracy. Standing here as greek democracy, he is carry it as a referendum. The Prime Minister is back here . The they are fed up selling to the greeks. Europe is not a sum of nationalist views. Europe is compromised and sadly you have departed from that past. The president concludes and thank you. Mr. President , yes i would say he is a force of respect from our country. As polittle reps you engage in provocation and we engage in compromise. You are looking for failure and we are looking for success. I hope you are able to come up with a program finally. Thank you. [applause] clearly this is a lively debate. We are all aware of that. I dont think it is a bad thing people are letting off esteem. We all know we are pleased to be here today. But i now call the leader of the social and democratic greek. Thank you, president shultz. I would like to say at the beginning that for us as social democrats europe without greece is just something that is unthinkable. Greece is part of the eurozone and essential. Without greece in the eurozone europe would no longer be itself and that is why we have opposed and will opposed extremist and political speculations calling for greece to leave europe. I would quote the extremist positions or i could reply with any statement made. But i would prefer to underlie the sobriety the seriousness, the constructiveness of the president who throughout all of these months has worked to find a solution a positive solution today is not the type for friends to apologize to each other. What is at stake is too serious for us to throw around and too serious to turn this house into a football stadium. It is not a time for divisions in the house for divisions in europe, it is a time for us to stand united because the future is at stake. And we should be above Party Politics. What is at stake is europes future which includes greece. I agree on one point. There was a great speech given today but the most Important Institution of europe, the parliament cannot have its president taking part in the euro summit so i would formally ask him to be invited to the meetings. Mr. Tsipras, you are not a member of my party. But at this point in time i feel we will never accept this. And recently hope has been reignited and i can note that everybody is showing a constructive attitude. The attitude of heads of state of government yesterday was positive. And the Political Forces in greece are positive about a possible solution. I think that the conditions are there for an agreement to be reached this week. We need to call for labor, combating corruption and tax evasion and all of the measures that are required not because europe would impose them but because they will benefit greek citizens and i think it is their right to discuss restructuring debate. And that is something that is a commitment in 2012 which should be honored and i think we should think about having a European Conference on that which should be thinking about this as well as the polling of debt. It is possible for there to be a medium Term Agreement i would say, president , but to those who read about these days in the future when it is history should be able to read there were men and women who knew how to put aside their divisions and rise above Party Politics and enter into an ax of responsibility and constructiveness to save greece and save europe. Something is wrong in the state of greece and something in the eu too, i can add. In the beginning there was the original sin of the Currency Union and today we are rooting its soft roots. I have an impression that has been unfolding before our eyes. Nothing really is what it seems. The greeks want help but want free hands at the same time apparently not knowing the saying he who pays the piper gets to call the tune. They organized an anthem which was and at the same time was not about what it was reported to be about. The final grounds of talks and we know final doesnt mean final. It means something else. There is a Monetary Union and seeing it as crucial and they say once greece is out the entire construction said to be so magnificent was falling to pieces. I dont want that ladies and gentlemen. If this continues, is the greek society, the credibility of the government, the creditors, the representation reputations of some or the European Union . We certainly, ladies and gentlemen, cannot say all of these. There will be come casualties i am sure. Thank you. And now our next speaker. There is a crisis in europe and european institutions have to be united. Welcome. You see we dont have to be afraid of the European Parliament. You ought to refuse in the beginning and i am saying as such a big democrat that stayed that can not be true. You are here. And i am pleased you are here. It is in European Parliament for the first time we discussed this and i think there are no solutions possible and we dont have the backing of democracy. It is true what you said. You said the greeks put forth enormous effort and that is true. But the greek class didnt do enough in the case of greece. That is the problem today. I am angry i have to tell you. I am angry because you are talking about reforms but we never seem to incroseease the proposals of reform. And i am angry why . I am angry because we are in fact sleep walking toward the exit. Already five years we keep walking with the help and support to hear them of the people of the extreme right. And not only are we sleep walking but the last months we are running toward that. It is not you, and it is not we who is paying the bills. It is the ordinary greek citizens paying the bills of the taxes at 3040 percent. In the coming 48 hours with a credible reform package and that doesnt mean i want to incline. It means you make a road map, a clear calendar and no intentions that the end dates of different reforms we need desperately in greece. Let me get you the five things of what you have to do. I am running to come to athens with you. First ending the crime system. You need to put regulations for that on the table that doesnt exist. And not to apply. A few weeks ago, 13 directors in the ministry of education had to be nominated and by accident 12 were parties and one is not known. That is the reality. You are using the system. You are using the system. You are falling into the the chuck of of people. You have to downside the public sector. It is difficult for the leftist but it has to be because 800,000 people to
