The European elections ballot is being presented by SYRIZA today, by Alexis Tsipras, at a special event.

The European ballot which clearly was the subject of intense debate and controversy in the recent past, with the withdrawal of the candidacy of Suleiman Sabiha and the placing, at the end, of Manolis Glezos as the leader.

“Give a single command to the coalition government of subordination. Flee! One command to the neoliberal forces throughout Europe: Flee”.

With this motto in his speech, SYRIZA president Alexis Tsirpas, set the tone for the stakes of elections during the presentation of the party’s MEP candidates.

Tsipras recalled that SYRIZA’s declarations for the elections of 2009 “we described word for word, the design of markets and the conservative European nomenclature which led to the huge economic crisis. Which evolved into an unprecedented ferocity of the onslaught against all those that European workers have conquered with struggles and sacrifice. That’s when we said:  This is not the Europe we envision. We said: we did not share their profits, we will not pay for your crisis! We asked that the European Leftists come together and change the landscape”.
