“Our goal is growth, because through growth we can rectify the injustices of the past,” stated the Prime Minister, during his Thursday meeting with Karolos Papoulias, President of the Hellenic Republic.

According to Mr. Samaras, the goal of the government is growth, demanding continuous efforts, but also his own, personal challenge.

Mr. Samaras admitted that “some steps are still missing” but  he was confident that the financial crisis plaguing the Greek people will soon be over.  Specifically, the Prime Minister stated that: “We are determined to walk the path of political stability to the end, in order to leave behind the financial crisis that has been plaguing the Greek people. My goal is growth, because through growth, we can rectify many injustices of the past.”

During the meeting, the President of the Hellenic Republic said he feels pleased that Greece’s European partners are “waking up and trying to tackle the major problems”, such as the economic crisis and youth unemployment.
