Greece "forms a stable government" capable of "respecting the commitments made and implementing the necessary reforms". The country "will continue to be part of the Eurozone, it must remain in the Euro", but of course "the responsibility rests entirely on Athens' shoulders". After the crash of the markets for the outcome of the Greek elections, the European Commission speaks to the Stock Exchanges, and trying to convey confidence and assures that the policy of the EU Commission will not change.
“We are confident for Greece's future in the Euro,” said Pia Ahrenkilde-Hansen, spokeswoman for the EU executive. “The European Commission will continue to help Greece within the framework of the second economic aid programme” granted and agreed by the Troika (EU Commission, ECB and IMF). Nothing will therefore change between Athens and Brussels, not even with the presence in the Hellenic Parliament of members of the ultra-right (including neo-Nazis) and Eurosceptics.
"Greece is an independent and sovereign country, it is the homeland of democracy”, the spokeswoman recalls. Also for this reason "full respect for democracy and responsibility on the part of political forces is expected".
