SYRIZA Parliamentary

As SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance’s Central Committee convenes, two dominant proposals regarding the timeline for electing new leadership have emerged. The debate reflects an internal divide between those pushing for a swift election process to minimize the party’s public image damage and others advocating for a more structured political dialogue before the vote.

Greece’s Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) party was divided over Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis’ choice of economist Eleni Panaritis as the country’s representative to the International Monetary Fund. Just 24 hours after the decision was announced, 44 SYRIZA MPs called on the government to revoke this decision.

Government sources said that the negotiations with the Brussels Group are continuing as usual following the return of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras from Brussels.
