Don't betray your people, Alexis. Because 80 % want to stay in the euro. Show them & us you are a real leader, not a false prophet #Greece

How does Tsipras want to be remembered? As an electoral accident who made his people poorer? Or as real revolutionary reformer #Greece ?
Can Alexis Tspiras actually be a revolutionary reformer of Greece?
As Verhofstadt said, Tspiras has been given a double mandate, from the election and the referendum.
So can Tspiras tackle the "privileges" of the military, the Greek Orthodox church, the shipowners, the political parties that get special treatment and special bank loans?
Or will he fall back into the ways of the Pasok and New Democracy in governing and waste that double mandate?
