The battle for Greece was fought in Brussels
Tsipras is on the wires saying his first ‘big battle’ will be a discussion on debt relief.
The new Greek government can grandstand all it wants but Greece’s future won’t be decided in Athens. When Tsipras folded after the referendum, he ceded power to Berlin, Frankfurt and Brussels. In those negotiations, they didn’t win a single battle and there’s no reason to think policies won’t continue to be dictated from abroad.
