The prime minister described January 25 as a historic day. “It is the day when the Greek people proudly decided to change course and made the left party responsible for leading that long, difficult and hopeful course. A course of economic, productive and social restructuring based on the establishment of a credible and socially fair state, the strengthening of democratic institutions and a more efficient public administration on the side of the citizens,” he stated. “We knew that this would be a painful effort and that we would have to conflict with powerful vested interests and pathogenies that led the country to the brink of destruction,” he said adding that “we are proud we can continue the battle from better positions, aimed at ending the crisis with justice and democracy.” Tsipras underlined that this struggle that started in Greece was a struggle for all of Europe. “But we are not alone in Europe anymore.
