Today, on August 20, 2015, Alexis Tsipras who is head of Syriza and Prime Minister of Greece, has resigned. He faced a serious rebellion within Syriza from approximately 45 MPs who hated his turn toward the implementation of European mandated austerity in Greece. This petition is to encourage Yanis Varoufakis, who led negotiations against Greece's European creditors, to try to take control of Syriza and run for the Prime Ministership. Varoufakis is a great man, a true man of the left. He is opposed to austerity and is in favour of the national sovereignty of the Greek people. It is for this reason that I am creating this petition in order to encourage Varoufakis to attempt to take over as head of Syriza and ultimately to become Prime Minister of Greece after snap elections, which will take place in September.
