Debate between Tsipras and Meimarakis: Concluding Remarks

September 15, 2015

There was no space for compromise during yesterday’s debate. From the first moment Syriza leader Tsipras ruled out any possible grand coalition between Syriza and New Democracy.

Reflections on Syriza Central Committee — What’s next?

August 2, 2015
