Hit constituencies of the greek crisis and they helped elect cities are in january 2015 to endorse territory in july that year in a referendum 62 percent of greeks voted against further austerity instead cities are capitulated to greeces 3rd emergency loan and harsher spending cuts about turn was unpopular but it balanced the budget and kept greece in the euro zone there are many people who voted series are in. Because syria series that had been promising their. Unrealistic. Achievements theyre voting them out because. They did the right thing they did what was proper pragmatic and practical if usable. Last year greeces eurozone partners who were its main creditors said it was no longer dependent on their emergency loans and was fit to return to the markets cities or pronounces it a victory. We came to unite all the greeks we combined our stream without this unity we would not have emerged from our stare at the austerity policies that are so unpopular opposition parties could not resist attacking them thats why a conservative government unseated a socialist one that was in turmoil unseated by syrias out Political Parties failed to form a National Front to face a National Emergency for the past 4 and a half years it has seemed that cities are was immune to the political cost of austerity because it was a new Political Force having never held power before it wasnt responsible for bankrupting the economy but now that greece has graduated from its state of emergency greeks appear more willing to accept that they too were to blame for overspending their way into debt and ready to come to terms with the Global Economy again and john joins us live now and of course in 2015 it was greece that was very much part of a wave of populist movements unfolding around the world now the country looks at for a dramatic reversal why the rich have been unable to deliver what the people want it. Because the greeks has been told since about 2015 that they were reemerging and coming back to markets the servitude to get drunk sharing power 2014. A multiday dollars on International Markets at a good Interest Rate of about full sent it to the front lines to believe that they were reemerging little stairs he would do no good by the beginning of 2015 years when the Previous Program was spent and instead they got cds and bailout loans and moral centers emotions while the crisis conditions. Very very poor growth on the market very low minimum wage very high taxes and yet Retail Prices not leeching peoples decreased means to purchase continued the greek Success Story that was meant to come up to 2014 never did and sees a kept promising it the main philosophy if you like of series of the economy has been if we just let minimum wage go back up people have more disposable disposable income the domestic consumption levels will rise and that will lift all boats but creditors have always resisted got way of thinking they said no you have to 1st build a competitive economy one that offers goods and services at prices that the rest of the world will buy and boost your exports that his what susan never managed to achieve that is what new democracy is promising to do answered. John mccain he has some lovely great news that that what you want tell us about the the myth the atmosphere had of tomorrows election. Strangely so because back in january of 2015 when soon as i was elected it was the climax of a series of elections 2012. And the fall of that 2009 when the greeks had been led to believe that they were going to. Car store with people searching that they were going to improve circulation in their standard of living and those promises never came true the austerity measures to trust. And lowered peoples standard of living for 2015 was the fiber of the rising the barely of it was always bubbling under the surface would be to say. We are a new Political Force were not like before were going to tell the europeans to swallow their will surety packages we should simply tell them that democracy has spoken of course that didnt come to pass usual also joined on to the stairs 4 and a half years later society is much more sober. What can be achieved through National Elections being innocent all right massie by electing a leader hes promising to make people to be more competitive so its quite buoyant important i would say thank you very much from athens john troublous.

The Un Security Council has condemned the attack on a Migrant Detention Center in libya and called on the warring sides to commit to a cease fire a video has emerged showing the moment the airstrikes hit the camp near tripoli on tuesday 60 people were killed and more than 100 others injured the world health. The Organization Says almost a 1000 people have been killed since warlord for the for half the began his offensive to take over the capital 3 months ago well there is a growing concern over the safety of african migrants and refugees being held in the libyan city of tripoli more than 10000 migrants who try to cross the mediterranean in the past year have been forcibly returned to Detention Centers inside war zones after the e. U. Set up plans for some asylum requests to be processed on african soil many of those were sent to camps inside libya despite authorities being accused of severe human rights abuses an estimated 6000 people are being held in Detention Centers run by libyas department are for combating illegal migration with nearly half of those based in tripoli well lets get more on this were joined by martyr for rest of the director of the of the Seas Development institutes human mobility in the should have and shes joining us live from london very good to have you with us on aljazeera so as weve been reporting since the attack some 60 People Killed in that airstrike but the factors that we know that that many more people have been dying in these Detention Centers and all kinds of conditions should refugees and migrants be processed in libya given the political situation in the country. Thank you and as you said what were witnessing is what is rabbit rapidly becoming not just a humanitarian crisis but also a bit of a political one if we if you know the International Community does not move quickly to address the situation in libya where. Migrants are refugees have died last week but as you just pointed out also before lets put this number in a bit of context 6000 migrants refugees in Detention Centers across libya that represents approximately 0. 01 percent of the entire population literally of a country like italy so when we think about what to do about those people whose lives are at risk is important to remember that we are as it is often the case in relation to my gratian numbers of people that are totally manageable to address so what to do about particularly now that the prospect of closing down these centers is looming and now that there is a tension and International Policy i interrupt you there to ask is that a real prospect because there has been a lot of criticism about these centers for a very long time yet they have stayed open with the help of the European Union and their policies so do you think that we could see them shut down that aisle. I dont know i mean there is it in the news it is suggested that there arent that thats as a possibility and is currently being discussed and the u. N. Security council has managed to release a statement after some difficult negotiations last week to can then to strike so there is certainly a moment of political opportunity as i said something can and should be done and so how do you see how do you say is this opportunity we are talking again about thousands of people at these Detention Centers where will they go. So 1st of all. That the people who arent in Detention Centers should have the option and if so they wish and if youre fortunate is that rise to return to their countries of origin or to facilitate mobility migration within the region now although this is not much of that covered in the news and this is the day where the International Going to zation for migration does on the ground in libya to facilitate returns to countries of origin particularly for those who have left countries where there are conditions for them to return now the problem with that is that the pace risks being slow it has been relatively slow does 5 hours approximately 3000 people have been your battery aged since the crisis and the violence erupted in 2014 and there are multiple reasons one is that not everybody should be returned particularly if they have originally fled countries well they lives are at risk but the other problem is that the International Community at the moment has weak presence and we can gauge mental libya where the political situation is extremely fluid and where the traditional leverage that presently is any as the government of italy had would get that the way they could negotiate effectively you know ways to manage the reality of migration within the country a simply no longer in place of those political conditions are no longer in place and so my concern is that the internationalization for migration on his own is not a few agencies with a large operation in the country cannot achieve as many returns as they as it would be desirable but that leads to the 2nd and passive and most important part of the solution which goes hand in hand with returns in countries of origin and it is of course legal in south safe passage pathways to europe we just commented on the fact that the numbers at hand are certainly not unmanageable in a number of European Countries there is a need for labor force there is any for talent there is a need for a plan issuing an aging populations and so. It is the time has come for the countries of europe to get their ideal but also individual bilateral luces think very concretely about we in which. Lives are at risk lets hope they do.
