Mr. Tsipras argued that “we choose the path of negotiation and discussion, of mutual understanding and justice” and stressed that the Greek government will not back down from its inalienable claims and that “we will not give morality lessons, nor will we accept lessons in morality”. The Prime Minister added that “morality cannot be a la carte” and that his government would support the efforts of the committee.
During his speech Mr. Tsipras stated that “the memory of the crimes and catastrophes committed by armed forces of the Third Reich are still fresh in the whole of Greece and Europe” and that “these memories must be preserved in the newer generation; we have the history, political and moral duty to preserve them”. He then explained that “we must not preserve the suspicion and hatred between people, but always remember what Nazism and fascism mean”.
Regarding legal argument that Germany settled the matter in 1960 with 115 million marks and as such has no further liability, Mr. Tsipras underlined that the settlement only addressed the victims of Nazism in Greece and not the catastrophes which the country suffered, nor the compulsory occupation loan that was imposed, or the war crimes that were committed as a result of the near destruction of the local economy and infrastructure.
