'Greece ? categorical victory for Syriza! The moral/lesson for us ? economy, jobs, security (hope) for everyday life matter,' Ponta wrote on Twitter.

Syriza spokesperson Panos Skourletis said the Sunday elections' outcome seems to be 'a historical victory' and 'a message to Europe.' Several exit polls gave more than eight percent of advance to the party led by Alexis Tsipras, international news agencies reported.

The message 'does not concern just the Greeks, but the whole Europe, and it brings relief,' Skourletis declared at the Mega TV station.AGERPRES
