Newly-elected Tsipras says ‘work’, ‘struggle’ ahead for Greeks

Athens, Greece (AFP) — Greek leftist leader Alexis Tsipras on Sunday said his government and the country faced “hard work and struggle” after winning a new mandate in a general election.

“The road of hard work and struggle lies ahead,” Tsipras said in a tweet, with his Syriza party on track to grab over 35 per cent of the vote against 28 per cent for the conservative New Democracy party.
