Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras in an interview with daily Ethnos expressed his determination to proceed with and implement his programme down to the last detail, to which he has committed himself over a four-year period, with the government submitting crucial bills to the Parliament soon.

Main opposition Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) leader Alexis Tsipras said in an interview to private Skai television on Monday that he will never sign an agreement requested by Greece's troika of lenders, as Prime Minister Antonis Samaras has done, not just because he is not Samaras but also because there is an ethical perspective and "we do not have the right to make that blunder."

Alexis Tsipras, who this weekend will be visiting Spain and Italy, will explore the possibilities of setting up a front of the countries of southern Europe against austerity and adherence to neoliberal policies imposed by Berlin.
