Podemos Leader to Stand By SYRIZA Leader in Final Election Rally


Pablo Iglesias, leader of the recently formed leftist Spanish party Podemos, will be present at SYRIZA’s final rally before the elections.

SYRIZA’s final rally and main event before the elections will take place on Thursday, January 22. Iglesias will appear to stand next to chief Alexis Tsipras in a gesture of solidarity between the two leftist parties.
