/ world today news/ German media have warned Greece that their creditors will not allow SYRIZA to corner them in the negotiations on Athens’ debt.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Tsipras, but this has gone too far!”, the leader of the far-left party, Alexis Tsipras, warned Bild newspaper. The publication called the party’s platform “dangerous” because it tries to change the country’s economic reforms. “A deal is a deal”, says an article in “Bild”.
In its commentary on the matter, the magazine “Spiegel” is more moderate, saying that a possible victory of SYRIZA could be a “terrifying scenario”. The magazine added that “this vote could go down in history”, marking “the day Greece took its destiny into its own hands”.
The conservative Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung called the results “an expression of a sense of powerlessness among voters over the austerity policies of the past few years.” “But no matter what Tsipras promises the Greeks, he cannot escape from one truth – Greece needs more foreign funds, either from the market or from the EU,” the article also says. The publication states that he will have to seek a compromise with the trio of creditors – the European Central Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the EU, or declare bankruptcy. According to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, however, this option would only push the country even deeper into the abyss it is in now. /AFP
