SYRIZA slams familiar tactics

SYRIZA leftists have given a clear indication in Parliament of the type of opposition politics they plan to engage in against Greece's newly elected conservative administration. And that hasn't come as much of a surprise. After all, the party of Alexis Tsipras, the country's former prime minister, has made it clear that it will seek to oppose the government on every possible front, both inside the House and on the streets.
It was popular protests and a strategy of polarization that enabled SYRIZA to climb to power. Meanwhile, judging from its share in the July elections, where it garnered 31.53 percent of the vote, SYRIZA essentially got away with its despicable record during its time in government. The party leaders and officials are very deft when it comes to divisive discourse and artfully disguise their hollow existence behind it. So why would they change their strategy?...
