With these five “don’ts”, the president of the main opposition party SYRIZA , Alexis Tsipras , who met yesterday the President of the Hellenic Republic Karolos Papoulias, clarified the tone of SYRIZA’s policies for the upcoming months. .

Mr. Tsipras stated the following: “I urge the Prime Minister to not even contemplate to implement the projects he had prepared for after these elections.
