"It was basically designed with political objectives," Alvarez added, saying that creditors were taking advantage of the "enormous financial pressure" that Greece is under and were trying to "break" the country's government.  Both Podemos and Syriza are members of the left-wing European parliamentary coalition GUE/NGL and are often identified as anti-austerity allies.  Large anti-austerity marches in Madrid earlier this year in support of Podemos led some to question whether Spain could become the "next Greece." The country's political parties are readying themselves for a general election in December 2015 that could see the fledgling anti-austerity party take a significant step towards power.

"For example, the main problem with debt for the Spanish economy is not public debt, but private debt," he said, adding that one of Podemos' first moves if it came to power would be to restructure private mortgage debt.  "But for the case of Greece, there is no way that Greece can... come out of the depression without an important debt restructuring."
