Bonus Episode: Interview with Alexis Tsipras

Bonus Episode: Interview with Alexis Tsipras

Alexis Tsipras: "Angela Merkel did not succeed in making Europe less German but she tried to make Germany more European."


In this bonus episode of my question to Angela Merkel, Alexis Tsipras, who was the Greek Prime Minister during one of the most important crises for his country and the EU, tells of his fascinating relationship with Angela Merkel, an adversary, just as much as an attentive counterpart. While he deplores her firmness with regard to budgetary austerity, he also praises her ability to listen, her knowledge of issues and her honesty. He delivers an exhaustive and fascinating portrait of the German Chancellor.
