He said that Mr. Samaras and the “darkest European perpetrators of austerity” are the only ones that “insist on the fairytale with the dragons.”

Mr. Tsipras pointed out that 2015 is not like 2012.

Furthermore, he reiterated that SYRIZA is aiming for a majority government to reflect democracy, the people’s will and the power for a debt negotiation with the country’s international creditors.
