PM Tsipras: Nothing was given us for free, it was claimed after struggle

The Greek revolution set the framework of values on which the Greek state was built, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Wednesday (25/03) following the military parade in downtown Athens to celebrate Greek Independence Day.

"Today we must remember that nothing was given to us for free, everything was claimed after struggle, and when you are right then you win," Tsipras said, noting that the Greek revolution "obliges us to guard vigilantly the Greek people's freedom, independence and dignity."

He added, "When the Greek people demand something, are decisive and have justice on their side, they can achieve everything."
