During his speech at the 6th congress of SYN party Youth Central Council, Alexis Tsipras exercised criticism against both large political parties ND and PASOK. SYN party president spoke of the need for the formulation of new social and political coalitions and once again categorically ruled out possibility for cooperation with PASOK. He stressed that now more than ever circumstances are ripe for a new social and political coalition which would lead to the Left solution. Referring to the global financial crisis he spoke of a conscious government decision to support big bankers while PASOK did not escape his criticism as he stressed that latish accusations of the free markets lawlessness just give rise to laugher since they are the ones who deified the stock market. Concluding, Mr. Tsipras said that the SYN partys aim is to highlight the problems of young people and turn them from the generation of indifference to the generation of reversal.
