Melenchon demands Syriza be kicked out of European Left
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is accused of betraying his socialist supporters to enforce cuts and privatisations on EU orders
A ROW has broken out in the Party of the European Left after Jean-Luc Melenchon’s Left Party in France called for Greece’s Syriza to be booted out of the alliance.
Mr Melenchon said it had become “impossible to rub shoulders” with Syriza and Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras given its attacks on working people.
He “deplored” Syriza’s recent attacks on the right to strike which showed the party “answered slavishly to the diktats of the European Commission.”
