The European debt crisis has had a devastating impact on the people of Greece and across Southern Europe and Ireland. People have responded with protests, strikes and, on January 25, the election in Greece of a coalition government led by radical left coalition SYRIZA that is already beginning to reverse the vicious public sector cuts demanded by the European banks and political institutions.

Guest speaker: Dick Nichols is European Correspondent for Green Left Weekly who covered the Greek elections this year. He has been covering the development of radical parties in Europe since the financial crash of 2008.
