Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Greek Leftists Rule Out Coalition with Austerity Backers

HeadlineMay 09, 2012

The head of Greece’s main leftist party appears to have ruled out a coalition government with centrist groups in a split over the austerity measures and structural reforms demanded of Greece in exchange for the international bailout. Alexis Tsipras of the Coalition of the Radical Left has demanded that any potential allies reject the bailout in order to form a coalition government. But after talks on Tuesday, Tsipras said it is unlikely a deal will be reached. If no party has enough support to form a coalition government, another round of elections could be held next month.
