SYRIZA leader demands elections with simple proportional representation

Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA) Parliamentary group leader Alexis Tsipras on Saturday demanded the holding of immediate elections using simple proportional representation while speaking at the 4th SYRIZA national conference taking place in Athens.
Addressing those gathered at the ‘Peace and Friendship’ Stadium in Faliro, Tsipras said his party was open to political dialogue with a series of political forces whose differences with SYRIZA “are of secondary importance to the historic duty that we have to avert the pillaging of the people and the country”.
