The people of Greece shocked the rest of Europe with the results
of their parliamentary elections on 6 May 2012. No party had a
clear majority and the Syriza coalition of the radical left was
put in second place.

Syriza opposes the bailout package or 'memorandum' which gives
Greece billions of euros in exchange for a very tough austerity
package of cuts and tax increases.

Gavin Esler speaks to Syriza's top economic adviser Yiannis
Milios and asks what will happen if the party wins the re-run
election on 17 June 2012. Do they really believe they can stay in
the Eurozone while tearing up the rules?
