Everyone wants to see and hear him. Most him want to celebrate. The hall in Heraklion on Crete is packed, as Alexis Tsipras comes to the podium. It looks nice: youthful face, jet-black hair, blue shirt without a tie as always open. And yet the smart Left is Europe’s nightmare. He wants to stop the restrictions imposed by the Troika, hated austerity program.

As a teenager, he has demonstrated a tireless media attention squatters school in his hometown of Athens, the baffled political elite. Since then, he’s “cool Alexis.”
His meteoric political career started at the stalinistischorthodoxen communists in Greece. The student group in which he earned as a tough functionary first spurs, called Engelados the earthquake.
The 40-year-old is now polarized. Critics complain of his lack of self-criticism and his lust for publicity. Admirers praise its intuitive people nearby. For many he is simply an incorrigible populist.
