Greece: Tsipras, barely appointed Prime Minister pays tribute to the Greek Resistance


The first official act of Alexis Tsipras as Greek Prime Minister is a strong gesture: he went to Memorial Kessariani.


This is where, during the Second World War, 200 communist fighters of the Greek resistance were executed by the occupying Nazi forces.


But this woman has been the most emotion to see the man in whom she believes. "We believe he will not let us down," she says.


"This visit is a message to Democrats Germans fighting xenophobia and neo-Nazis and their country," think a man present at the ceremony.


In contrast, the Greek television commentators have seen are a new defiance of the new leader to Germany Angela Merkel, reviled by the left since the beginning of the crisis.
