PM Tsipras: 'I fought as hard as I could'
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said he fought as hard as he could for a good deal with Greece's lenders and that he had to call elections because the conditions of his mandate had completely changed, in his first pre-election interview on Wednesday.
"I had no right to use up the four-year term considering the circumstances had completely changed," Tsipras told private broadcaster Alpha. "I have a clear concience."
Commenting on last month's referendum, the premier described it as an "inspirational moment" adding that people wanted a better neotiation and not a rift with the eurozone.
