Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras referred to the economic crisis experienced by the Greek and the Irish people, as well as to the need for social cohesion among the countries of Europe, as he received visiting Irish President Michael Higgins at the Maximos Mansion on Thursday.
Tsipras noted that the Greek people perhaps have suffered more in the crisis than the Irish, a remark that President Higgins agreed with.
Higgins said that when he recalled this period, he understood the importance of social Europe and the need for social cohesion between the state members.
The existence of a social Europe is of fundamental importance, Higgins said, adding that there must be close cooperation with the participation of the peoples of Europe. “Restoring trust should be a top priority,” said Higgins.
He also noted that Europeans have a common future and should further deepen their relations at the economic, social and cultural level. “We must do things together,” he said, before the start of a meeting with Tsipras.
