After the elections in Greece with the victory of the far-left Syriza alliance, most politicians in Brussels were already irritated. But what the new Greek Prime Minister Tsipras announced shortly after his victory, probably topped the worst expectations. The European Parliament President, the German Martin Schulz, was horrified.

During our weekly program “U talking To me?”, Kostas Chrysogonos, member of the Syriza party and of the European United Left at the European Parliament, said that Syriza is ready to make concessions.
