Greek PM with a defiant message for his people

  • we took the responsibility for the decision to avert the most extreme plans by conservative circles in Europe
  • we averted the plan for a financial choking and banking system collapse
  • we managed to restructure debt
  • we managed to secure medium term financing
  • deal will put Grexit talk in the past
  • measures will inevitably create recession

Not sure he'll have public backing for that last one

  • we sent a message of dignity to all Europe
  • Greece will continue to fight to return to growth
  • today's decision keeps Greece in conditions on financial stability
  • growth package of €35bln and debt restructuring will make markets understand Grexit is history
  • this time the burden will be distributed based on social justice
  • burden will also fall on those who had not yet paid during the crisis
  • we need radical reforms to get rid of the old oligarchy
