Independent tries to explain Tsipras phenomenon (…and Greek women)

Indendent’s article, titled “Alexis Tsipras of SYRIZA is far from Greek Orthodox: The Communist Harry Potter who could implode the Eurozone”, says anti-austerity promises are cause for the Tsipras phenomenon

Newsroom January 23 12:01

The article referred to Mr. Tsipras’ religious beliefs and was mainly based on comments made by socialist PASOK leader Evangelos Venizelos.  The article concluded by describing Greece — based on a single statement by one woman more-or-less described as addicted to cheap street drugs — as a place where “some women (are) forced to sell their bodies for just five euros.”
