Alexis Tsipras's government has just secured a three year bailout package to prevent the country's financial ruin. 

He says he wants the Greek people to decide whether they are happy with his anti-austerity party's work since being elected in January.

''I am proud of the battle my government and I have fought. We fought and stayed true to our promises.

''We held out against pressures and blackmail.

''It's true we reached the limit but we made the Greek issue into an international issue,'' he said.
