Syriza to the rescue?
The Stream examines how Greece’s new anti-austerity government will shape the country’s future.
Greece’s Syriza is the first far-left party to win a national election and the first anti-austerity party to take power in Europe. They promise massive job creation, writing off bank debts for the poor and renegotiating terms of Greece’s $269bn bailout. While many are hopeful Syriza can lift them out of poverty, others worry about the impact of their policies on relations with the Eurozone.
