Greece: Tsipras oath, but his coalition will it take?

Alexis Tsipras was sworn in Greek President Karolos Papoulias in the early afternoon on Monday in Athens.

His party, Siryza, won parliamentary yesterday with 149 parliamentary seats out of 300, but the alliance is planned with the party Independent Greeks will allow him to govern the country.

It's Tuesday that the new Greek government must be submitted.

Alexis Tsipras asked that his swearing or only civil, not religious.

It is also came the "call" to the Greek Orthodox Archbishop Ieronimos.

Traditionally, the new Greek prime ministers take oath on the Bible.

The image of this provision of unprecedented oath is a complete change of policy that we now expect in Greece because that was all the axis of the campaign Tsipras but questions arise also on the new coalition government, a priori against nature, between a radical left party and a nationalist party. Only the rejection of austerity policies seems to unite them in the background.

Stamatis Giannisis, one of our correspondents in Greece:

"This ideologically heretical alliance SYRIZA and Independent Greeks might go wrong because their ideological differences are fundamental and may have been due to their common goal to rid the Greeks their international creditors."
