Tsipras’ Forthcoming Trip to Australia

tsipras8_534_355Alexis Tsipras, leader of Syriza, is planning to visit Australia in the next months, as Kostas Isichos, executive of the party revealed.

“My trip will not be the last. I hope that the President of Syriza, Alexis Tsipras, will be able to visit Australia in 2013”, Isichos stated in an interview to the Greek Radio SBS, during his visit to Sydney, where he contacted the Diaspora and Australian politicians.

During his stay, Isichos gave an interview to the radio program The World Today of the Australian public radio network ABC. Isichos pointed out that “unemployment rates up to 60% for people up to 35 years old, and up to 28, 9% on the total manpower, the tendency of mass migration abroad, which can be compared to the World War II wave, hundreds of thousands of households and small and medium-sized enterprises that have been left without electricity, while up to 33% of the population are below the poverty line and up to 35% a little over it, are not samples of success.”

He said that “the dramatic spending cuts in public health and education, having 80 public medical institutions being shut down and having the double number of pupils in classrooms,” are the cause of the surplus of the Investment-Banking Group Morgan Stanley.

“The Eurozone is on the point of collapsing, while the monetary union’s structure has been transformed, since the meaning of the single currency does not exist anymore […] The euro has a totally different value in Germany from its value in Greece, aiming at serving Germany’s and France’s financial interests.”

As Isichos reported, “Syriza does not support Greece’s exit from the Eurozone, but the cooperation between the European partners, in a way that the European structure will serve the interests and the priorities of European citizens and not those of the European institutions, of financial bodies or of the private banking system.”
