A crucial vote for the Greeks


The Greeks do they want to move on two years of austerity? This is the challenge of this election. Alexis Tsipras, the leader of the radical left, wants to break with the austerity policy, which forced people to heavy sacrifices. Cuts in wages, pensions, unemployment at 25% ... If elected, the leader Syrisa promises to renegotiate the country's debt, raising the minimum wage or abolish certain taxes. Prime Minister Antonis Samaras see behind these proposals the risk of flashback '' catastrophic '' for the country.


For many voters, the choice is hard: '' I have children, a job. I am afraid of losing something, said the man. This election is different. Everyone thinks according to his personal situation. I do not think anything will change with the new government. ''


'' I vote in the hope that there will be a major change, says the woman. I want a new government that rids us of austerity, I vote for Syriza. ''


'' I voted for a party that is not in the government, who did not steal money in the coffers of the country which has not deceived us. I want something new, adds the Greek. '


From our correspondent in Athens, Thodora Iliadi: '' All Europe is watching on one of the most crucial elections in decades. The Greeks at the time of choice. Their votes will decide who should govern the country for the coming years?
