Greek Syriza leader Tsipras spoke with Reuters in an exclusive interview and said Europe most “cut or erase” a big part of Greek debt. He said ECB bond maturities can be extended.

If elected he said he will cancel austerity through parliament and renegotiate Greece’s debt but in the same breath he said no one is seeking a new private debt haircut.

There will be plenty of worry about Syriza but all politicians are the same — once they get power, no one wants to run a collapsing government.
