CRI听力:Anti-austerity Syriza Party Wins Greece Election

Greece's radical left-wing party Syriza has secured the right-wing Independent Greeks party's agreement to form an anti-austerity coalition.

It will be the first time since the Second World War that a leftist government has controlled Greece.

This follows Syriza leader Alexis Tsipras' vow to end Greece's "five years of humiliation and pain" following the party's victory in Sunday's general election.

"The sovereign Greek people have given a clear, strong, indisputable mandate. Greece has turned a page. Greece is leaving behind the destructive austerity, fear and authoritarianism. It is leaving behind five years of humiliation and pain."

For more on the outcome of the vote, CRI's John Artman spoke earlier with Doctor Cui Hongjian, head of European Studies with the China Institute of International Studies.
