More From Georgios A. Papandreou
- "People would say you look weak if you’re not cursing the opposition and driving around in a big black car while always wearing a tie. Above all, to be ‘strong’ you’re always supposed to be giving orders."
- "If Greece had gone through a very normal political life, I may have not been in politics. But just the fact that I lived through huge upheavals and very difficult struggles and polarisation and the barbarism of dictatorships – that made me feel that we had to change this country."
- "There are certain moments in the history of a nation when the choices made define the decades to come."
