Greece election: Anti-austerity Syriza wins election
Addressing his jubilant supporters in front of Athens’ university, Mr Tsipras said Greek voters gave Syriza “a clear, powerful mandate.” “You are an example of history which is changing… Your mandate is undoubtedly cancelling the bailouts of austerity and destruction.
“The troika for Greece is the thing of the past,” he added, referring to the country’s biggest international lenders - the European Union, International Monetary Fund (IMF) and European Central Bank (ECB).
On the other hand:
German Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann told ARD public television on Sunday that the new Greek government would be expected to meet its obligations under the bailout deal.
“The Greek election will increase economic uncertainty across Europe,” warned Britain’s Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron via his Twitter account late on Sunday. “That’s why the UK must stick to our plan, delivering security at home.”
