Thousands of people protested on July†‬15†‬across Europe†– ‬and in cities around the world†– ‬in solidarity with Greece's struggle against austerity.
The next day,†‬Marina Prentoulis,†‬spokesperson for Syriza in Britain,†told TeleSUR that what was needed was a†“‬pan-European movementâ€â€ ‬capable of confronting the power of European capital and the neoliberal agenda of European leaders.â€
The Greek parliament voted on July†‬16†‬in favour of reform measures required by a deal reached between the government of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and Greece's creditors.â€
“In order to be able to resist their demands,†‬we need a pan-European movement,â€â€ ‬Prentoulis told TeleSUR,†‬adding this was the†“‬only way to resist this immense powerâ€â€ ‬of European capital.†‬The SYRIZA government,†‬elected on an anti-austerity platform,†‬has come under heavy criticism for agreeing to a deal involving measures running contrary to the leftist party's ideological outlook.
