If you are attached, the South of Europe "is stronger than aSr.a Merkel and allies," defended the leader of SYRIZA, which wants to end the Memorandum and cancel part of the debt. The change has to happen and it does not matter if it will be the first in Greece, Portugal, Spain or Italy - which is Alexis Tsipras want to happen and quickly. The leader of SYRIZA was in Lisbon to Europe and requires that, as happened to Germany in 1953, also the external debt of southern countries is forgiven, allowing them to rebuild their economy. In these countries concerted fight against troika against austerity measures and against German hegemony, Tsipras ever given name: Spring Mediterranean.

Even with the presence of prominent figures of the block, as John Semedo, Francisco Louçã or Marisa Matias, Alexis Tsipras was the star of the night at the rally organized by the party after the celebrations of the 25th April. Used the ability to enthuse those who heard him - often designated by the Greek word "charisma" and that Greece alongside the anti-austerity speech earned him the position as leader of the opposition and led SYRIZA being the second largest party in elections last year - to explain the Portuguese left that it is possible "to tip the balance of European political power" to his side.
