New Democracy and PASOK had been alternating in power at least for the last forty years. Syriza's victory has been interpreted by a number of people on the left as a momentous change in the history of Greece and Europe, and has created inspiration and hope for radical change. Now that 100 days have passed with the "first Left" European government in power we are in a position to reflect and extract some lessons for the future.</p> - <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/-Perspectives-in-Greece-" rel="directory">Perspectives in Greece</a> / <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/+-Greece-+" rel="tag">Greece</a>, <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/+-European-Union-+" rel="tag">European Union</a>
