SYRIZA WIN CAUSES JITTERS ON FINANCIAL MARKETS

Greece's anti-austerity Syriza party is vowing to end the 'humiliation and pain' caused by the country's international bailout, after winning the general election.

Leader Alexis Tsipras is now working on forming a coalition - having fallen just short of an absolute majority in parliament.

The result has sent the euro to its lowest level against the US dollar in 11 years, on fears the election result may lead to Greece's exit from the currency.

Mr Tsipras insists he will renegotiate Greece's 2010 bailout - although Brussels and the European Central Bank say Greece must honour its commitments.

Greek Leftist Party Syriza To Win Election

Anti-austerity Syriza party has won Greece's general election. With
more than 75% of the votes counted, Syriza is projected to win 149
seats, beating its rival, the conservative New Democracy Party of
Antonis Samaras, the prime minister who has become deeply unpopular
over his agreement to receive international loans in exchange for
painful reforms.

The winning party is rewarded with a 50-seat bonus but needs 151 seats
to form a majority and so far it is unclear who Syriza would share
power with in Parliament.

Thousands of Syriza supporters were cheering in the streets of Athens
on election day; celebrating what they see is a change in politics for
the country.

Our Brussels correspondent Sandra Gathmann says Syriza's win could
make the months ahead challenging for the European Union.
