Stavros Theodorakis

In spring, 2012, then TV reporter and producer of the show "Protagonistes" (protagonists), and later founder of the now defunct To Potami (the river) party, Stavros Theodorakis, in the context of contacts with other parties ahead of elections arranged an interview with Alexis Tsipras regarding Syriza's aims and prospects.

Centrist party To Potami announced it will not be running in the upcoming Greek general elections on July 7, following a meeting of its political council on Tuesday night.

Stavros Theodorakis, the leader of centrist To Potami, announced his intention to resign from the party's leadership, during a meeting of its political council on Tuesday.

To Potami leader Stavros Theodorakis on Saturday voiced confidence that his pro-EU centrist party will garner enough support in next Sunday's elections to secure a presence in the European assembly.

Greece's conservative opposition on Wednesday slammed the SYRIZA government for failing to crack down on far-left violence.

The criticism came hours after a vandalism attack on the home of the US ambassador to Athens that was carried out by members of the anti-establishment group Rouvikonas (Greek for Rubicon).

History is littered with all manner of what-ifs, which remain unanswered and are only discussed by historians and armchair pundits.

I was thinking the other day how different things would have turned out for Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and Greece if he had been wiser in his selection of coalition partners and government officials from the outset.

Stavros Theodorakis, leader of To Potami centrists, on Thursday said Greece should endorse a name deal with neighboring Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) or risk being alienated from its western partners.

With the disagreements over the Prespes agreement taking a heavy toll on the smaller parties in Parliament, ruling SYRIZA and main opposition New Democracy are set to vie for the void left behind in the so-called center ground.

Amid speculation about his possible move to centrist Potami following his ejection from the Movement for Change (KINAL) coalition, Thanassis Theoharopoulos held his cards close to his chest on Monday, commenting that he has a "good relationship" with Potami and its leader Stavros Theodorakis.
