Give Greece a chance

As I said, this was a single initiative that aimed to send messages in a very short but crucial time. The specific period from 24 to 26 February was a week after the vote on the second memorandum in the Greek Parliament, the last weekend before the voting procedure of the bailout package by the parliaments of the European Union member states and the subsequent summit. Our goal was to make Europe understand at that time what the "bet" is, what the Greeks have done and that in practice, they are fighting for the possibility of helping their country themselves.

Currently, we are not considering and have not decided if and what the next steps will be. The fact is that we had a very positive momentum, especially in the Internet. We are looking for ways to continue this campaign and we are "open" to more people. The interest of ordinary citizens was touching as well as how many of them offered their voluntary support. They proposed to make free translations or add the website address of the campaign to their blogs or profiles on social media and many other ways.

What we want is Europeans to abandon stereotypes and realize that there is a different Greece, which believes in reforms and stability provided by the membership in the European Union. It is fighting for change and it believes that it will win this battle.
