2015-01-27 8

Spain's anti-austerity 'Podemos' party welcomed the electoral victory of Greek ally Syriza, giving hope to the new, left-wing Spanish party which heavily backed the Syriza campaign. Pablo Iglesias of 'Podemos' said 'The victory of Syriza will provoke something new in the political panorama of Greece – they’re going to have a real Greek president. Not a delegate of Angela Merkel whose interests will rank above those of the country and its people." teleSUR
