Greece's Challenge to Europe

Is Greece’s general election result the death knell for the European project or a historic opportunity to reshape European politics?

The victory of the anti-austerity Syriza party has overturned decades of centrist politics in Greece. But how realistic is the seductive promise of an end to ‘national humiliation and pain’? And will Europe agree to give the Greeks what they want? World Have Your Say gets reaction from inside Greece and worldwide.

As Greeks and Europeans come to terms with the result, we’ll hear from around Europe on what it all means. Do Greeks want to stay part of Europe and the euro zone, or break away from Brussels? Have we seen the first victory of an anti-austerity movement that will ripple across southern Europe to countries like Spain and Portugal? And what lessons do voters want Europe’s leaders and Brussels’ bureaucrats to draw from this result?
