00:00I asked for a strong mandate to change the country. And the Greek people delivered it. I'm very very grateful for the result. We won an outright majority which was our main target . We almost reach 40 percent which is an incredible number given the context of a fragmented political landscape and I feel that I have a strong mandate to deliver on my agenda which is an agenda to grow the economy to create more jobs but also to make sure that the Greek people feel safe again. The new government will be announced tomorrow. So I'll ask you for a little bit of patience for the new minister of finance. It will be sworn in on Tuesday. We will have our first cabinet meeting on on Wednesday and work begins as of tomorrow morning. Mr. Mr. Stark as you said there is no grace period because there is no time to waste. So when are we actually going to see measures be implemented when are we going to see conversations between you and your European counterparts because that's the key. Well that is you will see that very very quickly. According to the current timetable we will be receiving a vote of confidence from parliament on Sunday July the 21st. So we'll be ready to legislate immediately after after that. And of course our discussions with our European creditors will will begin immediately. But we've made our plan very very clear. There are no real surprises here involved. We want to drive a real reform agenda for the country that is ambitious very bold and very very detailed .
