Prime Minister of Greece
Mr. Kostas Karamanlis

On March 7, the men and women of Greece confirmed by their vote their clear request for political change. For a new policy that will stand up to the challenges of the new era. The mandate given by the citizens is clear: To stand up to their high expectations. To prove ourselves worthy  of their trust. To walk all together ahead. I consider the trust of the citizens  a great honour. As a great responsibility to which I shall dedicate all my powers. My personal commitment is to honour every part of the deal that we signed together. To implement every chapter of our governmental programme. The priorities of the New Government are: Education and Culture, a daring investment in knowledge, in human resources, in the new generation of our country. A new economic policy that will ensure development in all aspects, prosperity and more jobs for all people. A new agricultural policy that will give to the Greek people the ability to become more competitive in Europe and worldwide. A state with human character that will operate with clarity and effectiveness. A truly social state, which supports the citizens in needy hours. Which will provide access to high quality health services to all citizens. all the Greek people together we are fighting this great battle in order to achieve a just, functional and European solution to the political problem of Cyprus. We all join powers so that the Athens Olympic Games be the best and safest ever. In order to spread to the whole world the new face of our country.
With modesty, courage and determination we bring again the citizens, their expectations and needs to the center of politics. We build a Greece of development, of cohesion, of progress and social justice. In this effort, in this great fight for the Greece that we dream of, the Greece that we want and can, nobody will be spared. With trust among us, confident of our power, all Greek men and women can set aside those unimportant things that draw us apart and focus on those many and important that unite us. Together, we turn a new page for our country and for the people. Together, we build a better future. For each and every one of us
