Tsipras: Neoliberalism is not invincible

SYRIZA leader appeared confident that the Left will be the positive surprise of the elections of May

Main opposition SYRIZA leader and candidate for the presidency of the European Commission Alexis Tsipras expressed his content over his tour in European countries, stressing that “a message of hope and change comes from all sides”.

Speaking at a campaign rally of the Alternative Left party of Galicia (AGE) on Sunday in Spain, Tsipras stressed that neoliberalism is not a natural phenomenon, nor is it invincible.

“Instead of a Europe that fears unemployment and poverty, instead of today’s Europe that redistributes income to the few and fear to many, instead of a Europe of bankers and capital, we want a Europe of human needs,” Tsipras said. He also noted that for the first time after the war, a whole generation is aware that worse days are coming and underlined that SYRIZA will change this Europe.

Referring to his impressions of his tours, Tsipras said: “I have visited almost all the countries of Europe campaigning for change in Europe. A message of hope and change comes from all sides. Neoliberalism is not a natural phenomenon, nor is invincible. We are confident that the Left will be the positive surprise of the elections of May. The European Left counts on you. SYRIZA counts on you.”
