It's called left-wing because Syriza has 149 seats while the right-wing party only has 13. While they are a coalition, they don't have the same power.

The problem is that this article is from a typically conservative source. It's not written as straight news.

As if other sources would always write their stories as straight news. Try to read The Guardian.
However, what's written seems not far from truth. Other sources have been reporting how Greece is running out of cash.

And now, with "finance ministry officials are categorically denying any suggestion that Greek representatives said the country would run out of cash" I think could be confirmed that Greece is running out of cash. http://www.theguardian.com/business/live/2015/apr/02/greece-...

There is no such thing as an unbiased news source and anyone who claims to be one is delusional or lying.
The government is a coalition of right wing nationalists and left wing - nationalistic - marxists. Not sure why this should be called a left wing government. Calling the government left-wing is marketing to get sympathies with leftist people in Europe.
So I'd rather call the government nationalistic populist.
