[02] Tsipras: EU must change policy
The leader of the Coalition of the Left (Synaspismos) Alexis Tsipras
on Saturday reiterated that his leftist party considers decisions by
the 27 EU member-states at a recent summit as merely confirming that
the world is amid the greatest economic crisis in decades.
He also called on the Union to change direction and abandon failed
policies.
Tsipras again repeated his party's demands for cuts in interests
rates and a freeze on foreclosures in the country, as well as state
subsidies for low-income wage-earners and pensioners.
