Tsipras will meet Pope Francis on Thursday
Main opposition SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras on Thursday will meet with Pope Francis in the Vatican.
According to Avgi newspaper, Tsipras, accompanied by the party's spokesman Panos Skourletis, will be received by the Pope on Thursday morning. Their discussion will focus on issues related to poverty, migration and the environment.
The meeting is considered a "historical" one, as no other leftist leader has ever before been received by the head of the Roman Catholic church.
The meeting is scheduled at 10.00 local time at the Papal Palace, according to a party announcement.
