Athens, January 28 (RHC)-- The top economic spokesman for Greece's victorious Syriza Party says it would be unrealistic to expect the country to repay its massive debt in full. Euclid Tsakalotos told reporters in Athens: "I haven't met an economist in their heart of hearts that will tell you that Greece will pay back all of that debt. It simply can't be done."

Greece's leftist Syriza Party, which won the general election on Sunday, says the country's 240-billion-euro bailout by international lenders must be renegotiated. The Syriza spokesman further stated that EU leaders needed to demonstrate that they were willing to work with the victorious Greek political party.

"It's going to be a very funny and a very dangerous Europe with very strong centrifugal political forces if they signal that after a democratic vote they're not interested in talking to a new government," Tsakalotos said. "It will be a final signal that this is a Europe that can't incorporate democratic change and it can't incorporate social change."
