Abstract: The Greek parliamentary election in January resulted in a coalition government with the radical left-wing party Syriza obtaining the most votes. What does this new constellation mean for Greece’s EU relations and the ongoing negotiations over the financial assistance to the country? In this paper, Dionyssis Dimitrakopoulos describes the changes to the political landscape and its implications for the country’s role in the EU and the eurozone. The author argues that the austerity policies has had negative consequences for the country and that the votes for Syriza represent a dissatisfaction with the EU´s lending terms and the austerity policies. |
