Reuters stresses that Greece prepares for a SYRIZA government which has pledged to take on international lenders and end painful austerity measures imposed during crisis

The news agency refers to the statement made by the leader of SYRIZA, “In Greece, democracy will return” and highlights that a SYRIZA victory would represent another turning point for Europe following last week’s announcement by the European Central Bank of a massive injection of cash.

According to Reuters, a crucial issue remains if SYRIZA will be able to have a single party government or have to form a coalition with a smaller party.

“Alexis Tsipras has pledged to keep the country in the euro as well as to renegotiate the agreement with the troika and relief the biggest part of debt of Greece,” said the news agent and added that the leader of SYRIZA wants to increase the minimum wage and proceed to lowering taxes.
