The people of Greece has given a fitting rebuff to the ruling New Democracy Party and the incumbent Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, who was imposing austerity and more hardship on the people. They have elected the leftist  party Syriza, which got 149 seats out of 300. Its leader, Alexis Tsipras has been appointed as the Prime Minister. Another party, Independent Greeks, is supporting the new government. The people were fed up with austerity measures, which reduced salaries, pension etc. as also jobs and increased unemployment. Continuous agitations and strikes were organised by the working class against austerity.

How the new government will deal with the huge debt and other issues will have to be seen. The Euro countries  like Germany had already started stating that the debts can not be waived, which ill be one of the demands of the new government.

Hearty Congratulations to the victory of Syriza and the new Left Government in Greece.
