SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance "will be victorious in the country's first ballot on May 21," said party leader Alexis Tsipras during his visit to the southern Athenian suburb of Nea Smyrni on Saturday morning.

The main opposition party leader met and chatted with local residents, pointing out his belief that his party "will defeat the Mitsotakis system and give rise to a government comprised of progressive political forces."

Tsipras also called on the prime minister to a televised debate "about the country's real problems" to be held on a TV station and journalist of the premier's choosing.

Referring to Syriza's program for the protection of primary homes, business premises and agricultural land, he said this proposes a "fair regulation of private debt by directly axing personal debts." He emphasized that the party's program is realistic, and it will enable debt settlement not only for vulnerable households but also for the middle class: "We have a plan to stop the incredible redistribution of wealth at the expense of the many," he noted.

Greek people will soon "turn their backs on Mitsotakis," he underlined.
