Main opposition Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) leader Alexis Tsipras spoke in an interview with private ANT1 TV where he ruled out any collaboration after the elections with the socialist PASOK party, newly-founded KIDISO or centrist To Potami and said that if his party did not gather enough votes to form a government. He said, however, that his party was open to collaboration with anyone accepting its Thessaloniki platform with the exception of forces “that led the country to its catastrophe.”

– SYRIZA is open to political forces that accept the immediate implementation of the party’s program.

– He said that the party’s intention was “not to divide Greeks but to unite them”, adding that the next day would be difficult.

– He said Greece needed to be unfettered domestically so as to enter European negotiations from a position of power.

– Mr. Tsipras urged for all negotiations with lenders to end as soon as possible.

– He reiterated that his party did not accept austerity.
