Madrid, February 7 (RHC)-- The victory of the Greek political party Syriza has renewed anti-austerity sentiment across Europe. Observers say that the Greek election results are fueling left-leaning political parties throughout Europe.
In Spain, the leftist party Podemos, or "We Can," has surged in opinion polls with a vow to undo austerity.
In related news, Croatia has canceled the debts of its poorest residents. Under a new government plan, an estimated 60,000 low-income residents will see their debts absorbed by creditors, including local banks, major telecommunications providers and city governments.
The move comes after more than 300,000 Croatian citizens saw their bank accounts blocked last summer due to debt.
