Greek Leftist Party Takes Lead Ahead of Election

HeadlineMay 25, 2012

In Greece, the latest poll shows the anti-bailout leftist Syriza party remains in the lead ahead of the June 17 election. The Syriza party is led by Alexis Tsipras.

Alexis Tsipras: “The dilemma of the upcoming election, the true dilemma of the election, is this: bailout or dignity. And we say to the Greek people — we say it loud so that people in all of Europe can hear it, we say it loud so that the leaders of Europe can hear it — that no people can be led voluntarily to indignity, subjection and suicide.”
