The internal conflict within SYRIZA continues to escalate, involving MPs, party members, family members, and trolls. Supporters of SYRIZA’s president, Stefanos Kasselakis, are describing recent actions as a “coup.”

SYRIZA, the main opposition party, has entered a fresh internal war as the circle of officials who question or criticize the decisions and action of its leader Stefanos Kasselakis' is expanding and getting louder. 

The resignations on Wednesday of three top executives from SYRIZA's executive bodies are further testing the cohesion of the party that has been riveted by infighting.

Greece's main opposition SYRIZA is in for more upheaval, after three cadres announced their intention to quit the party's executive bodies, but not the party itself.

The publication of the daily edition of the newspaper “Avgi” is being suspended, citing financial problems from SYRIZA‘s HQ at Koumoundourou.

Matthew Nimetz, who acted as mediator in the "name" dispute between Athens and Skopje for 25 years, initially on behalf of the United States and later as a special envoy of the United Nations, highlights the significance of proper implementation of the Prespa Agreement, not only for Greece and North Macedonia, but also for regional stability in an interview with Kathimerini.

Former prime minister Alexis Tsipras is seen as the best candidate to lead an alliance of center-left parties, according to a poll by GPO aired on Star TV late Thursday.

The aftershocks of the European elections are still being felt in Greece, as none of the big three parties reached their stated goals. The country's attention has turned to the center left, particularly PASOK, where several party officials are calling for a leadership change. At the same time, there are growing internal discussions in PASOK and SYRIZA regarding forming a coalition.

Some 83% of PASOK and SYRIZA voters are in favor of forming a left coalition, according to a poll by Metron Analysis, presented on Tuesday to the Alexis Tsipras Institute convention.
