Greek Syriza party wins general election


(Vatican Radio) Greek Syriza party leader Alexis Tsipras will move Monday to form a government that can take on international lenders and reverse years of austerity following an election victory.

40-year-old Tsipras will meet the head of the small Independent Greeks party which, like Syriza, opposes Greece's bailout deal.

Syriza won 149 seats in the 300-seat parliament in Sunday's election, two short of an absolute majority.
