Greek radical leftist leader Alexis Tsipras refused to join a coalition with the conservatives who won Sunday’s election, saying his SYRIZA party would be a powerful force in the opposition instead.
Tsipras, who placed second in the election, has campaigned against Greece’s bailout supported by the New Democracy conservatives.
«The role of a strong and responsible opposition…is to intervene in a powerful way and this is what I assured Mr. Samaras that we would do,» Tsipras told reporters after holding talks with his conservative counterpart, Antonis Samaras.
