The fact that we're going through a crisis is an opportunity for Europe to be more coordinated and more integrated. We're actually talking about a European Monetary Fund or euro bonds, about guarantees for countries, about economic governance in the European Union. That shows the strength of Europe.

This idea that you're a successful tough guy if you evade taxes and deceive the state has got to change.

We stand united, facing the big responsibility to change our country into a nation of justice, solidarity, humanity and green development.
