Greek Presidential Guard soldiers perform their duties in front of the the Greek Tomb of the Unknown Soldier beneath the Hellenic Parliament which is home to the Greek parliament ahead of this weekend general election on January 21, 2015 in Athens, Greece. According to the latest opinion polls, the left-wing Syriza party are poised to defeat Prime Minister Antonis Samaras' conservative New Democracy party in the election, which will take place on Sunday. European leaders fear that Greece could abandon the Euro, write off some of its national debt and put an end to the country's austerity by renogotiating the terms of its bailout if the radical Syriza party comes to power. Greece's potential withdrawal from the eurozone has become known as the “Grexit”. (Photo by Matt Cardy/Getty Images)
