TIME Magazine recently released its list of ‘The 100 Most Influential People’ in 2015, featuring none other than Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras.
The left-wing leader of Syriza was labeled as ‘Greece’s rising star’, whose election is considered to have reignited hope in the Greek people in the face of austerity.
“Alexis Tsipras represents a Europeanism shared by those of us who understand that democracy on our continent has to be linked to sovereignty and social justice,” wrote Pablo Iglesias, secretary general of Spanish leftist party Podemos.
Recognised alongside some of the worlds’ most significant pioneers, artists, icons and leaders, among those named were Russia’s ‘Iron man’ Vladimir Putin, the United State’s Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama, along with China’s leader Xi Jinping.
