Those within the Internationalist Workers Left (DEA) and SYRIZA have expressed the change the party has already caused is significant even in the face of these issues. If SYRIZA does end up compromising, it does not undermine the importance of a radical left party coming into this much success. Yet, there is no telling how all of this political maneuvering will play out. SYRIZA is facing pressure from its supporters in Greece, as well. They believe in the new part, and demand that it does not compromise on its foundational principles. Antonis Davanellos, a member of the DEA and SYRIZA's Central Committee, agrees with these sentiments, saying in a Socialist Worker article, "There is a lot of evidence that the working class movement in Greece is willing to fight, and now that there is hope as a result of the SYRIZA victory, I think it can fight even better," and if they can attract the support from the working class in other European countries, they could pressure the ruling class to recede.
While it is unsure whether SYRIZA will win against the European elites in these negotiations, the movement has already been significant to Europe. The next victory for the left came with Podemos—the radical left party of Spain. The success of these parties poses a threat to EU leadership and to the ruling class of Europe as a whole. While SYRIZA will remain under fire by most EU governments, the movement maintains one notion, as put by Davanellos, "all the radicals inside SYRIZA have a common slogan: Not one step back."
