The opposition leader Alexis Tsipras is amongst the central speakers at 24th Annual Greek Economy Conference which is organized by the American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce, which is focused on the “new Greek economic & production model”.
Since SYRIZA came in second at last year’s double elections, Mr. Tsipras has made conscious efforts to approach the business world by arranging a series of trips to the USA and meeting with various institutional players. Today’s speech is essentially a follow up to his recent appearance at a conference in Austin, Texas in November, where he categorically stated that Greece will not exit the Eurozone.
Mr. Tsipras’ efforts to approach the business world have not gone unnoticed, with business cycles associated with the American-Hellenic Chamber expressing their approval and considering him a reliable party, which cannot be said about other European officers.
In his speech the SYRIZA leader asked whether they would like profits with high taxes or no profits and argued that his party was in favor of supporting Greek enterprises and encouraged investments in innovation, while respecting the labor, tax and environmental legislation
