Alex Sakalis: January 25 was the one-year anniversary of the election that brought Syriza to power in Greece. You of course were greatly involved in that campaign, before leaving Syriza to run as an independent with Popular Unity following the aftermath of the Greek referendum. What were your thoughts on the one-year anniversary?
Zoe Konstantopoulou: My thoughts on that one-year anniversary were that today’s government, today’s so-called "Syriza" and the policies they have implemented have nothing to do with the 25 January 2015 mandate and the trust with which the Greek people embraced Syriza. And they have nothing to do with Syriza as it used to be back then.
