Europe is an economic superpower and it cannot afford to disregard it citizens who are facing major trials. It matters little whether they speak Greek, Italian, or German.
It is not easy at difficult moments to be magnanimous. Yet it is at such times that generosity characterises great leadership, as did the perceptiveness and moral leadership of Chancellor Angela Merkel during the refugee crisis of 2015.
We therefore propose that we work together quickly to ensure sufficient liquidity in all European Union countries, so that jobs do not depend on the whims of speculators.

There is a pressing need for certain EU leaders to understand that now is not the time for strict economic discipline. This is an hour when the welfare of human beings must come first.

President Sakellaropoulou's message to Turkey is that it has exploited refugees and has adressed Greece with unseemly language, which undermines the mores of international relations and any sense of diplomacy.
