I think there is a heritage which Im proud of, which is a fight for democracy, a fight for social justice, a fight for freedom. My grandfather went to jail or exile six times in his life, fighting for his principles for democracy, or for his country. And my father twice. – George Papandreou
In ancient Greece, politics and the market were not decoupled. – George Papandreou
I have always said I will be in politics to serve as best as I can and it will take me wherever it will take me. – George Papandreou
There is this concept of politics as a dirty game. Its a difficult game, but it doesnt have to be dirty. I think this is what we need to bring to politics. I think politics around the world has very often been captured by big interests – lobbies they call them in the States. – George Papandreou
