Alexis Tsipras, leader of the Syriza party, speaks to supporters during a pre-election rally.
In decisive fashion, Greece has voted for the radical left-wing SYRIZA party, which is eager to stop the current bailout scheme and renegotiate a deal that's more favorable for the Greek economy.
In the next several days and weeks, we'll learn a lot more about the implication of the vote, and what new leader Alexis Tsipras is capable of accomplishing. But tonight at his victory speech in central Athens, one supporter's sign told the whole story.
SOURCE: Joe Weisenthal/BloombergA supporter of SYRIZA holds up a sign at Alexis Tsipras' victory rally. The sign is directed at the so-called "Troika," the outside group made up of representatives form the EU, the ECB, and the IMF. This group regularly comes to Greece to make sure the country is living up to its agreements as part of the bailout. In his victory speech, Tsipras declared the end of the Troika era, and clearly his supporters are hoping that that statement proves correct.
