varoufakis knows this the prime minister alexis tsipras knows this.eece gets to the eurogroup is something it takes away from its people and would contravene pre-election promises alexis tsipras and varoufakis made to the greek people. brendan: let's talk about the greek people. i saw a piece of graffiti that read, "alexis the great." how was he seen returning to athens? as a hero? erik: it did not take much to make progress. greece has felt the weight, it has been a burden of austerity. not so much terms of austerity but terms of inflame enslavement -- that is how people feel. that is why you hear alexis tsipras and varoufakis talking about raising the minimum wage. not because they want people to be bpaid more, but at the same level they were paid in 2012 before austerity was imposed in greece. tom: thank you so much, erik schatzker from athens. we mentioned valeant. no one at bloomberg "surveillance" is discussing the business plan valeant uses. scott from new york university and josh from bloomberg economics. i don't know where to begin. the oscar

everyone is focused on alexis tsipras. they are very photogenic. while we are focusing on them, ordinary greeks are seeing, not yet real change economically, but they are feeling an atmosphere change, so as a result, alexis tsipras who won the election with 36% and was able to form the government, is now riding on 70% in terms of popularity, and if there is an election now they get 45% on all the differences of the election results from the january election and now comes from switching support to the current left government. that is how weird crazy -- and if you are greek -- how disorienting the situation is. that is why alexis tsipras says we are in no hurry, we will fight for what we were elected to do. i've spoken to him at length. these are not people that came into politics to compromise. they were a tiny group of 4% 15 years ago. they are talented people who thought they would spend their days in universities. they are in power now when they will not stay in power by massive compromise. they would rather -- if they are forced out of the euro,

in one way, alexis tsipras made it easy for them. party's name is an akron ym translating to the coalition of the radical left. once you get past of the label and look at the policies, are they this radical. the consensus in the news media, corporate owned, is that harsh brutal austerity measures are something that greeks must live with syriza has been chipping away at that. there was no mere charm offensive by the foreign minister. he was out to subvert financial doctrines and dress codes and dealt out sound bytes slamming into the wall conventional thinking, particularly in germany, where the debate may be won or lost. our change is not a date line, it's a news maker, the academic, politician about to teach europe a thing or two about economics. >> hello. >> reporter: at the risk of starting with a point that may seem drivial, but -- trivial, but isn't, when is the last time finance and debt stories were watched featuring i.m.f., default, restructuring, in which a principal, the greek finance minister is not wearing a tie or suit,

you are looking at how the markets are reacting to alexis tsipras' first major policy speech on sunday night. >> not very impressed, from what they have heard from the new greek the borrowing costs are very important with lenders. the 10 year bond yield is a benchmark for seeing how investors view greece. that has gone up today. effectively got an 11% interest rate on the 10-year bonds. it lets the negotiations with international lenders become more important now. shares in athens have fallen after the news. down almost 6% in trading. bankshares are being hit again. that is likely to be the focus of any shortfall in funding. should they reach an agreement with international lenders by the end of this month to markets across europe in trading today -- we learned that david cameron l an emergency meeting with the british finance minister to plan a potential greek exit from the euro zone. that, of course, showing that the markets are not terribly impressed by what has happened. all of the main markets were down as a result. robert helfrich is in frankfurt. f>> it is crucial that we see a
