“The
top economic spokesman for Greece’s victorious Syriza Party says it
would be unrealistic to expect the country to repay its massive debt
in full. 'I haven’t met an economist in their heart of hearts that
will tell you that Greece will pay back all of that debt. It can’t
be done,' said Euclid Tsakalotos as quoted in a BBC report on
Tuesday. 'Nobody believes that the Greek debt is sustainable,'
Tsakalotos added.”
“The
Syriza spokesman further stated that EU leaders needed to demonstrate
that they were willing to work with the victorious Greek political
party. 'It’s going to be a very funny and a very dangerous Europe
with very strong centrifugal political forces if they signal that
after a democratic vote they’re not interested in talking to a new
government,' Tsakalotos said. 'It will be a final signal that this is
a Europe that can’t incorporate democratic change and it can’t
incorporate social change.'”
“Tsakalotos,
however, argues that it would be 'my worst nightmare if the eurozone
collapses because Greece falls. And if Greece falls and is removed
from the eurozone - the eurozone will collapse. We said from the
beginning the eurozone is in danger, the euro is in danger, but it
isn’t in danger from Syriza... it is in danger from the very
policies of austerity,' he stated.”
