PRAGOTI

Excerpts from To the Crucible: An Irish Engagement with the Greek Crisis and the Greek Left by Helena Sheehan, published in the Irish Left Review: "There is a more sober and serious storyline at play in the transition of Syriza from a coalition of 4.5% to a party of 27% and the main opposition to a potential government in a scenario of epochal crisis. This is the story that I have been following in the last months. I saw the international left being galvanised by the success of Syriza in a way that raised our sights and held hope of becoming a force up to the demands of our times".
