Ik denk zomaar dat de Griekse PM meer azen in zijn mouwen heeft.
Herinner je de tripjes richting Rusland? En de Chinezen zijn er ook nog als mogelijke investeerders.
Als Tsipras oproept om NEE te stemmen dan heeft hij heus nog wel iets in de melk te brokkelen.....het is geen domme jongen of zo....

Early life and career
In 2013
Tsipras was born on July 28, 1974 in Athens. His family has its roots in a village near Babaeski in Eastern Thrace (European Turkey), which moved to Greece during the population exchange between Greece and Turkey.[5] His father was born in Epirus.[6][7] His mother was born in Eleftheroupoli.[8]
He joined the Communist Youth of Greece in the late 1980s. In the early 1990s, as a student of Ampelokipoi Multi-disciplinary High School, he was politically active in the student uprising against the controversial law of Education Minister Vasilis Kontogiannopoulos. He rose to prominence as a representative of the student movement when he was featured as a guest on a television show hosted by journalist Anna Panagiotarea. During the interview, Panagiotarea implied that Tsipras was being disingenuous in defending middle and high school students' right to absenteeism without parental notification in the context of protests.[9]
He studied civil engineering at the National Technical University of Athens, graduating in 2000, before undertaking postgraduate studies in Urban and Regional Planning following an inter-departmental MPhil at the School of Architecture of NTUA. Alongside his postgraduate studies, he began working as a civil engineer in the construction industry. He wrote several studies and projects on the theme of the city of Athens.[9][10][11]
As a university student, he joined the ranks of the renascent left-wing movement, particularly the "Enceladus" (Greek: Εγκέλαδος) group, and as member of it was elected to the executive board of the students' union of the Civil Engineering School of NTUA, and also served as student representative on the University Senate. From 1995 to 1997 he was an elected member of the Central Council of the National Students Union of Greece (EFEE).[9]
