Tsipras calls of Greeks to vote against the old system

"On September 20 people are called … to overthrow, with their own vote, the plans for a left interlude. To choose between forging ahead and restoring the old political system, which led us to the memorandums and bankruptcy,” he told the party’s political secretariat and electoral committee in his address.

He explained the importance of the electoral battle for the country’s future and the issues that remain open and on which all parties will present different programs, such as debt restructuring, finding equivalent measures to replace some of the harsher ones included in the bailout, farmers, protecting the first residence, non-performing loans and labour laws.

Tsipras also noted that SYRIZA must reveal the real stake in this election, which is to “not to allow poorer households to fall prey to the neoliberal forces and not allow Greece to move backwards.”
