I don't see how Grexit posturing works for Europe. Acrimony palpable. At least Jürgen Stark admits restructuring is best option.




Interesting to me Spiegel mentions Ireland and Portugal contagion and not Spain and Italy. Why? Sounds like Spain/Italy seen as red line





If you read Spiegel article, no mention of Spain or Italy. Why? I believe it's because Germans know EZ fails with contagion there





Grexit: "The danger of contagion is limited because Portugal and Ireland are considered rehabilitated" - German govt official



Tweets - Teacher Dude et al....










"It's been a long, a long time coming But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will"

Very powerful speech by Tsipras, he and SYRIZA have come a long way in the last few years






Tsipras speech will energise the party base, since it shows party not willing to compromise to win power.

Tsipras says there must be a moratorium on debt payment to allow Greek economy to recover from crisis






When German govt routinely breaks its own rules concerning govt spending, why can't Greece, gripped by humanitarian crisis? - Tsipras






We guarantee the bank deposits of the Greek people - Tsipras






Austerity is irrational and destructive - Tsipras






We need to put an end to this vicious circle of borrowing money to pay off debts - Tsipras






Tsipras - it's not a break between Greece and our partners but a break with barbarity






Tsipras - the dilemma on 25/1 is austerity or growth







Tsipras - corporate press said that the communists would take away your homes, but govt has voted measures 4 confiscation of main residences






After seeing Tsipras and Samaras speak today , no wonder SYRIZA is 7.4% ahead







Tsipras accusing New Democracy and Troika of having a shared agenda which promises even harsher austerity measures, if they're re-elected






"Unfortunately, for Mr Samaras, Mrs Merkel and Mr Schauble will not vote, but Greek men and women" - Tsipras






"SYRIZA is not the enemy of the future of Europe" - Tsipras







Tsipras now saying both FT and Der Spiegal have favourable view of SYRIZA's policies







Tsipras name checking Spain's Podemos and Ireland's Sinn Fein







Europe is threatened by the rise of fascism, not the Left - Tsipras




Tsipras says they (govt) are with the zombies, whilst SYRIZA is with the living. After seeing the PM's speech, I have to agree.

Seen as Grexit is a thing people are talking about again, this really is worth reading on the technicalities of that







Papandreou launches party, aims for post-election role





Talk about chalk and cheese. Tsipras now speaking to audience about 50x times bigger than that of PM. Hell, I can even see young people.




Greek PM couldn't even win over party loyalists in his Larissa speech, very lukewarm response at the end. V.bad for New Democracy






Absolutely nothing new in Greek PM's speech today, if he doesn't up his game, New Democracy going to get crushed at the polls





Greek PM just finished his speech, to say the audience's response was lacklustre is understating things. This with party loyalists





I remember the time when a Greek PM could attract crowds numbering 100's of thousands and have them eating out of his hand.
