Greeks Return Tsipras To Power
ResumeAlexis Tsipras' left-wing Syriza party battered opponents in a snap general election as Greeks gave the 41-year-old leader a second chance to deal with the country's staggering debt and carry out major reforms aimed at modernizing its government and economy.
Defying opinion polls, Tsipras comfortably beat the conservative New Democracy party to retain a coalition partnership with the small right-wing Independent Greeks.
Here & Now's Peter O'Dowd speaks with the BBC's Athens correspondent Richard Galpin on the situation in Greece.
