SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras has likened the lives of people under the stewardship of Greece’s conservative government to that of contestants on the “Survivor” TV show.
“It’s a matter of who can endure and survive. This just can’t go on,” he said on Wednesday.
“Gasoline is climbing to almost €2.50 [per liter]. We see inflation climbing to double digits, over 10%. We haven’t seen this since 1994,” he said, adding that “at the same time we are seeing an ongoing party with the looting of public wealth.”
