Tsipras: Greece is ready to change

Speaking at the event of the German left-wing party Die Linke in the EU offices in Athens, told that Greece is ready to turn the page, ready to change.

Tsipras noted that the government does not have the mandate to commit the country to a new memorandum, adding that it is the Greek people who will have to decide whether they need it.

"The outgoing government gives the last desperate rearguard battle to hold on to power," SYRIZA leader said.

Tsipras underlined that the memoranda have completely failed, destroying the productive base of the country, increasing unemployment to unprecedented levels and having created a humanitarian crisis, adding that Greece is a country that is dying a slow death because it was used as a guinea pig for the crisis by European leaders.
