EUROPE NEEDS A ‘NEW DEAL’ – TSIPRAS

ATHENS: Europe needs a “New Deal” to rise above the economic crisis and austerity policies, the European Left Party’s Greek candidate for EU commission chairman, Alexis Tsipras, says in an interview.

“There is no way we will exit this crisis if we do not proceed to a European New Deal,” the 40-year-old radical leftist party leader told Agence France-Presse, referring to the 1930’s stimulus programs enacted to help the United States overcome the Great Depression.
