🎙PODCAST | What happened to Syriza

Nearly a decade after its indisputable electoral victory, Syriza, the left-wing party which symbolized the resistance of Greek citizens to the neoliberal recipes of the “troika”, is experiencing its last opportunity not to disappear. The formation that was once the mirror in which to look at other European alternative lefts emerging in the second decade of the century, among them Podemos, ended up giving itself to a young millionaire heir to relaunch the party. The experience was a disaster and this weekend this episode closed with the election of a new leader, this one, the black leg of the formation, with the challenge of stopping its decomposition.

With elDiario.es contributor in Greece, Queralt Castillo, we explain how Syriza ended up electing a former banker as party president, and with Andrés Gil, deputy director of elDiario.es and head of International, we let us recall what Syriza meant in this context of global financial crisis which affects all of Europe.
