A member of the European Commission recently admitted that the European Union "doesn't like new faces." This confession underscores the extent to which the Continental establishment is struggling to cope with the emergence of new political players that propose a substantial change of direction in Europe's policies. Whether European officials like it or not, the left-wing Syriza party's recent victory in Greece will force them to deal with the eurozone's first anti-bailout government. More important, it will force the European leadership to choose from a limited number of options — all of which could lead to unintended consequences. Syriza's victory is making waves in Spain, where the Podemos party is also campaigning on its promise to renegotiate Spain's debt. Spanish politicians fear that a successful government in Greece could boost Podemos' popularity and put an end to Spain's traditional two-party system.
