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.

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.
