Tsipras Launches SYRIZA European Election Campaign

Tsipras Presents Europarliamentary Ballot
Greece’s main opposition Coalition of the Radical Left  (SYRIZA) leader Alexis Tsipras on Tuesday kicked off his party’s European election campaign urging Greeks to “rise up”. He asked the Greek people to send a message to the “government of subservience”, and stressed that that the EU is building walls that block millions of people not only from the benefits of development but also from the essentials to living a humane life.
“Our Europe is the Europe of the people and solidarity,” said Tsipras, who is also the European Left’s candidate for President of the European Commission, adding that “we will change (German Chancellor Angela) Merkel and bankers’ Europe with our vote and our struggle.”
Tsipras underlined that the country’s mass media had carried out a “huge and unprecedented operation of lies and deception.” Oligarchs and bankers still control the people and the country’s life, he said, and he called upon every Greek to force the government out of office.
Responding to the speech, government spokesman Simos Kedikoglou said: “Tsipras is trapped in his world, in his fixation and obsessions,” adding “we will not let his obsessions poison Greece.”
