Below, we publish a column by Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, written for Le Monde, which includes the first list of concessions accepted by the Greek government in its negotiations with the troika (the European Commission, European Central Bank, and International Monetary Fund). Tsipras's article is followed by a reply from Stathis Kouvelakis, a central figure in Syriza's Left Platform. Both were translated by David Broder and first appeared on the Verso Books blog.
