Greece, which is already in a pre-election period, is ready not only to turn a page but change completely and play a key role in Europe, main opposition SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras said on Thursday.

Tsipras

noted that the government does not have the mandate to commit the country to a new memorandum, adding that it is the Greek people who will have to decide whether they need it.

Speaking at an event in Athens on «Financial crisis and challenges of democracy», organized by the GUE/NGL European Parliamentary Group and co-organized by SYRIZA, Tsipras expressed his optimism that his party would win in the upcoming European Parliament elections, noting that Greece, which has suffered from an unprecedented harsh policy, has changed over the last four years.

«The outgoing government gives the last desperate rearguard battle to hold on to powerSYRIZA leader said.

Tsipras underlined that the memoranda have completely failed, destroying the productive base of the country, increasing unemployment to unprecedented levels and having created a humanitarian crisis, adding that Greece is a country that is dying a slow death because it was used as a guinea pig for the crisis by European leaders.
