Alexis Tsipras, head of Greece’s biggest anti-bailout party Syriza, appealed to Greeks to give him the power in elections on June 17 to cancel the terms of an international bailout and restore pensions and wages.
“The choice for Greeks on June 17 is one: bailout or Syriza’s government program,” Tsipras said, presenting his campaign platform in Athens today. “You either implement the bailout or you cancel it. There is no such thing as a more or less evil bailout, a more or less inappropriate medicine.”
