Greece: Tsipras Resigns, New Elections to be Called

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras resigned and announced early elections for September 20. The move was expected after Syriza lost its parliamentary majority when the ruling party's more radical legislators bolted following the acceptance of the European Union's harsh austerity measures. Chris Spannos, editor of the New Internationalist, explains how the new situation will force a realignment in Greek politics and why a grassroots anti-austerity movement will surely emerge. teleSUR
