"Mr President, firstly, allow me to say that I consider it encouraging that we now all acknowledge that focusing solely on fiscal restructuring measures will not get Greece out of the crisis or Europe out of stagnation. It is encouraging, but it is not enough. We need binding decisions and projects, because words and wishes do not suffice. If we want to be specific and convincing towards the citizens of Europe, then we can and must link specific development measures, such as a financial transaction tax and Eurobonds, with the new fiscal compact. Allow me, however, to address the various ‘Pythias’ inside and outside this Chamber talking about Greece leaving the euro for the sake of democracy and the prosperity of the Greek people. Clearly, everyone may have their own opinion, but democracy in this Parliament is non-negotiable. For heaven’s sake, do not cite the interest of the Greek people. The overwhelming majority of 70% of the Greek people are in favour of Greece remaining in the euro and will not allow anyone to exploit the difficulties they are experiencing in order to support interests in favour of breaking up the euro area, as some people are systematically trying to do."@en1
