Greece's economy and society have been through the wringer
over the past 6 years. Successive bailouts, haircuts, Memoranda of
Understanding, and persistent austerity have mired the country in a bog of
economic depression and political instability. The failed attempts of the
previous Samaras coalition government (including conservative New Democracy and
centrist PASOK parties) to conclude the review of the latest ‘Troika’ program
and his inability to garner the 180 votes (in a 300-seat Parliament)
constitutionally required for the election a figurehead President paved the way
for the electoral rise of the radical left-wing Syriza party to power.
