                <media:description>A woman walks past a slogan in central Athens on January 21, 2015.  Whoever wins Greece&apos;s general election on January 25, Europe will have to take urgent action to tackle the country&apos;s mountain of debt before it buries the rest of the eurozone, analysts say. Alexis Tsipras, head of the far-left Syriza party that leads in the polls, has alarmed EU capitals by pledging to ditch austerity measures and renegotiate the debt left by two huge international bailouts.
