[01] Greece is on the threshold of a historic political change,
Tsipras says
The impending SYRIZA government in Greece will work as an incentive
for the overall, political reorientation of the social democratic
and progressive forces in the European South, main opposition SYRIZA
leader Alexis Tsipras said on Sunday speaking at a Transform Europe
conference on the "neoliberal agenda and European social democracy"
in Florence, Italy.
Tsipras said that the reversal of the neoliberal hegemony in Europe can
start from the periphery of Europe. As for Greece, Tsipras noted that
it is already on the threshold of a historic political change and soon
SYRIZA will be called on to assume the governance of the country. In
this context, he added, the party seeks the cooperation of governments,
but also of the political and social forces, starting from the European
South. Such a cooperation will build the positive momentum which will
be developed with the victory of SYRIZA, he underlined.
Regarding the crisis of social democracy, Tsipras said that the current
crisis of social democracy is identical to the European crisis, adding
that the European social democracy should change in order to continue to
exist. Otherwise, it will turn into a small, supplementary force of the
neoliberal right wing, "just as it is happening in Greece with PASOK,"
he said.
