Tsipras: Only if Europe Changes Will it Offer a Promising Future to its Citizens
Thursday, 11 January 2018
Europe needs to change if it wants to be able to offer a promising future to its citizens, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Wednesday during a joint press conference at the end of the 4th Mediterranean EU member-states summit in Rome.
The summit and presser included seven member-states of the EU South: Cyprus, France, Greece, Italy, Malta, Portugal and Spain.
Tsipras said Europe should not repeat its mistakes and proceed with a bold set of changes. "The issue is not to just exit the crisis but also to prevent the emergence of a new crisis in Europe," he said, adding that 2018 could be a milestone year that will signal the end of the crisis.
