George Papandreou gave an interview to CNN and Richard Quest and spoke about Greece in light of the country’s preparations for the tourist season after the successful treatment of the pandemic.
The former prime minister gave the interview via Skype from the house where he has been living for three years, in the Court Marathon. This is a little house with stunning views of the Evoikos.
In his interview, G. Papandreou spoke of a major effort for citizens and businesses, but also referred to what Europe must do to deal with the economic consequences of covid-19.
He referred to the fact that, in the conditions of such a pandemic, the international community should work together in solidarity. In this context, and in particular with regard to the economic challenges that follow the pandemic, the former prime minister referred to the need for a common European fiscal policy, to implement without delay those solutions that were not selected in the 2008 crisis and 2010, as The eurobono. The result was extremely severe for society and citizens, prolonged the problem, and led to the rise of extremist, eurosceptic, and populist forces across Europe.
G. Papandreou closed his interview saying: “The time has come for Europe to demonstrate that it works for everyone. If a country falls, all will fall.”
