Indecorous comments about Tsipras from Independent

British newspaper Independent in a tribute to Alexis Tsipras and Greek elections next Sunday uses unacceptable characterizations, calling the SYRIZA leader an atheist, a former Communist, Harry Potter, and stresses that he is single, but has 2 children.

Hard characterizations, often beyond the usual political traditions, are used by the Independent for the leader of SYRIZA Alexis Tsipras. In a report Mr. Tsipras is described, at least, as a former communist, irrelevant to the Greek orthodoxy, Harry Potter and ballerina obsessed with the anti-austerity.

Especially emphasize the 'Harry Potter', ie nicknamed him "stuck" Evangelos Venizelos, because it gives great promises that will never fulfill.

The Independent notes that he is single with two children from his mate from school years Peristera. The paper notes that if he wins the elections he will be the first single, Greek Prime Minister and that he has named his second son Ernesto, in honor of Che Guevara.

The inexperienced politician in his forties, according to the publication, is causing nervousness in Brussels, as many fear will refuse austerity and payment of Greek debt.
