Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras Discusses the Debt Crisis in the European Parliament

At the height of the debt crisis affecting Greece, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras comes to the European Parliament to discuss ways to exit from it.
Just a few days earlier, Greeks rejected the creditors’ terms for a new bailout package in a referendum.
Speaking to the plenary, Tsipras says that Greece has been turned into “an experimental laboratory of austerity”, but that “the experiment has not been successful: poverty has skyrocketed, as has the public debt”.
Nevertheless, many MEPs call on him to cooperate with creditors and reach an agreement. A few days later, an agreement is achieved and Greece avoids defaulting.
