After Greek Elections, What Happens Now?

After Greece elected the far-left Syriza party to power, there’s been talks that the country could leave the Eurozone currency area, while some politicians believe that it’s not possible to pay back the 240 billion euro ($270 billion) debt.

After Greece elected the far-left Syriza party to power, there have been talks that the country could leave the Eurozone currency area, while some politicians believe that it’s not possible to pay back the 240 billion euro ($270 billion) debt.

EU leaders have said Greece needs to live up to its promises and pay the money back. But new Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, who unveiled his cabinet Tuesday, has stressed Greece won’t be able to repay the bailout.

With a new government, it’s not clear what will happen next.
