EU Commission chief: Grexit not an option
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
"Grexit is not an option," European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker said during his speech at the University of Leuven in Belgium adding that this would cause important dangers in Europe.
Juncker also referred to Greece's obligations to the eurozone and the need for solidarity among EU member states. "Greece has made mistakes in the past. The government of Antonis Samaras made the right moves and those who doubted these moves won the elections and now are faced with their pre-electoral promises," he said in reply to a student's question.
The European Commission president noted that his main concern is not the Greek government, but Greek citizens. We have no right to address the Greek people as if it is the neglected part of Europe. We have to show solidarity, he underlined. "Athens must take major steps in our direction, and we must be ready to respond in an appropriate manner on the steps," he stressed.
