SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras will be in Rome on September 20-21 to attend Articolo Uno party events and have contacts as part of his two-day visit to the Italian capital.

“SYRIZA is aiming to exercise a constructive and aggressive opposition, and you will not hear from lies and disaster mongering,” Alexis Tsipras said in response to a question about the style of opposition that his party will adopt during his press conference at the 84th TIF in Thessaloniki, Sunday.

"We are still here, after four-and-a-half years of struggle, the struggle to keep Greece standing upright," is how main opposition party SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras started his speech at the 84th Thessaloniki International Fair on Saturday evening.
