“I’m sticking to this big picture because it will counter the difficult stakes for now. We will not allow those hiding inside and outside of Greece to veer off course. I also know that there are forces that want weak governments and those that cannot stand in the way of Western liberal democracy,” he said.

He added: “The ports that once asked for rubles and drachmas will not be resurrected in Greece, the media will not be funded by foreign interests. I do not retreat and the Greeks do not retreat, we do not delegate this decision to anyone. You are calling for elections in this situation of instability, without thinking about what it means, don’t you see what is happening in Italy, where are you pushing? Lead the country into instability.”

“I will bear any political cost, I will not run away and after 4 years I will meet each other. This government is not under pressure. We will never lose the goal of Greece that we deserve,” the prime minister concluded in his speech.
