Stefanos Kasselakis

Stefanos Kasselakis, leader of the Movement for Democracy, has invited members of his newly-founded party to choose its official logo.

In a social media post on Tuesday, Kasselakis announced that a shortlist of logo designs is available for voting on the party's website. The voting period will be open from Wednesday until December 20.

Behind-the-scenes ferment, meaningful appearances, and surprise set the scene for the Syriza Progressive Alliance’s stance towards the selection of the right person for the Presidency of the Republic, which is proving to be a political milestone if not a catalyst for broader developments.

The debate on the budget in the House of Representatives turned out to be a foretaste of the new political period ushered in by the advent of 2025, with the Syriza Progressive Alliance emerging unscathed from the vote, but from the benches of what is now the third parliamentary power in the plenary chamber.

Almost as time was running out, yesterday afternoon, the Syriza Progressive Alliance‘s stance on defence spending crystallized, with the budget debate culminating this evening.

Former SYRIZA leader Stefanos Kasselakis, founder of the newly formed Movement for Democracy, has criticized the government's 2025 budget as excessively austere.

"This week the Greek parliament will pass its annual budget, another budget the government will miss at the expense of the country's social fabric," he wrote on platform X, in an English-language text.

If the SYRIZA lawmakers who became independent and are close to the party's former leader Stefanos Kasselakis manage to reach 10, the parliamentary group they will form will be the 10th in the current house.

New SYRIZA leader Sokratis Famellos is moving forward with a makeover of his left-wing party in an effort to transform it into what he described on Thursday as "the genuine opposition the country needs."

Newly elected SYRIZA leader Sokratis Famellos has reached out to former supporters who abandoned the left-wing party amid its recent crisis and leadership turmoil.

To justify the MPs who have left SYRIZA in recent weeks, Stefanos Kasselakis attempted to justify Stefanos Kasselakis speaking today on the Panteion radio station.

A major disruption within the SYRIZA Progressive Alliance was triggered by the news of Eyaggelos Apostolakis’ decision to leave the party. The admiral’s move took both the party’s new chairman, Socrates Famellos, and the natural leader of SYRIZA, Alexis Tsipras, by surprise, as he announced his intentions late yesterday afternoon.
