"I want to say, simply, that from this moment, there is a government," Panos Kammenos, the Independent Greeks leader, was quoted as saying by The Guardian on Monday after a meeting with Syriza.
Kammenos said that his party would give a vote of confidence to Syriza's new leader, Alexis Tsipras. The new Greek prime minister will meet with the country's president and later announce his cabinet.
"The aim for all Greeks is to embark on a new day, with full sovereignty," Kammenos was quoted by the newspaper as saying.
Syriza is leading the final count of the election polls with 36.34 percent of votes and is expected to win 149 seats, two seats short of a parliamentary majority.
Earlier on Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated the Syriza leader on his party's victory in the elections, saying that Moscow was ready to cooperate with the new government in Greece.

El presidente del Parlamento Europeo duda que la UE condone la deuda griega ...
ReplyDeleteEl Gobierno de Alexis Tsipras, líder del partido Syriza que acaba de ganar las elecciones en Grecia, no debe contar con que a Atenas le condonen la deuda, declaró este lunes el presidente del Parlamento Europeo, Martin Schulz.
Grecia celebró el domingo legislativas anticipadas después de que el anterior Parlamento se disolviera en diciembre pasado tras fracasar la elección de un nuevo presidente del país. Tras el escrutinio del 90% de los votos, la Coalición de Izquierda Radical, Syriza, obtiene el 36,3% de los apoyos y 149 de los 300 escaños del Parlamento griego.
Durante su campaña electoral, Tsipras prometió cambiar el rumbo político del país y reexaminar las relaciones con los acreedores. Además, declaró que se propone lograr que el Fondo Monetario Internacional, la Unión Europea y el Banco Central Europeo condonen la deuda griega que supera 300.000 millones de euros.
"No puedo imaginarme que, por un lado, las exigencias radicales presentadas por su partido obtengan el apoyo de la mayoría de los griegos y por el otro, que los socios europeos acepten cumplirlas", dijo Schulz en una entrevista a la emisora Deutschlandfunk. Además, Schulz opina que Tsipras se da cuenta de la necesidad de encontrar una fórmula de compromiso.
"Tsipras es una persona pragmática que sabe perfectamente que se verá obligado a encontrar soluciones de compromiso ya que entre lo que se declara durante una campaña electoral y lo que después se pone en práctica hay un largo período de conversaciones", señaló Schulz.

Greek leftist Tsipras sworn in as PM to fight bailout terms...
ReplyDeleteGreek left-wing leader Alexis Tsipras was sworn in on Monday as the prime minister of a new hardline, anti-bailout government determined to face down international lenders and end nearly five years of tough economic measures.
The decisive victory by Tsipras' Syriza in Sunday's snap election reignites fears of new financial troubles in the country that set off the regional crisis in 2009. It is also the first time a member of the 19-nation euro zone will be led by parties rejecting German-backed austerity.
Tsipras' success is also likely to empower Europe's fringe parties, including other anti-austerity movements across the region's economically-depressed south. The trouncing of the conservatives represents a defeat of Europe’s middle-ground political guard, which has dallied on a growth-versus-budget discipline debate for five years while voters suffered................http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/01/26/us-greece-politics-idUSKBN0KZ0D620150126?feedType=RSS&feedName=worldNews
