Meanwhile the political future isunclear for former Greek PM Alexis Tsipras, who was prime minister from 2015 to 2019 — riding a wave of anti-establishment feeling amid the financial crisis. Hecoasted to a stunning victory, pledging to reverse resented cutbacks dictatedby international creditors. Instead, he was quickly forced to impose furtherfinancial pain in return for a new rescue loan.
