When the left-wing Syriza Party won power in Greece, Europe held its breath. Would this mean the Greeks leaving the EU?

So far, they have stayed in; but continual debt repayments to the EU are increasingly making Greeks mad. Syriza’s response? Cozying up to Russia.

At a time when the EU and Russia are almost enemies and Russia is trying to drive a wedge between NATO countries over Ukraine, Greece’s actions are embarrassing Europe.

On this week’s Infocus, we’re in Greece to find out how Syriza plans to put the country back on the right path. Will Greece end up leaving the EU? Will it end up accepting money from Russia? As European countries fight wars abroad they are also fighting a war with themselves.
