The future of SYRIZA as the main opposition party is uncertain as its parliamentary group faces a potential collapse.

While all eyes are on the US elections today, in Greece it seems that there is a permanent state of campaigning. After the PASOK elections a few weeks ago, SYRIZA is now preparing for its own leadership elections this month. In the meantime, internal drama in New Democracy and PASOK's improved poll numbers have caught the media's attention as well.

Voting is underway as SYRIZA members cast ballots this weekend to elect delegates ahead of the party’s extraordinary congress to choose new leadership. The tense atmosphere reflects deep divisions within the party, with each side passionately advocating for their vision of SYRIZA’s future.

The most convenient interpretation is that SYRIZA won the elections 10 years ago as an anti-austerity party rather than a left-wing one. This, the theory goes, led to a gradual loss of support as the party adjusted to fiscal realism and European rationalism.

With the exclusion of former party head Stefanos Kasselakis from its leadership election, it looks like SYRIZA is plunging into fresh turmoil.

Revelations, confessions, and a lot of trolling characterized Emmanouil Karalis’s “ask Manolo” session on Instagram this Wednesday.

In response to the questions he received, the Olympic pole vaulter unveiled his new “love,” shared his favorite and funniest photos with Tentoglou and Tsitsipas, and confessed his love for wine and golf.

Since midday on Friday, October 4, Ilia has been engulfed in flames due to wildfires raging in the regions of Geraki, Panopoulo, and Manolada.

Strong ground and aerial firefighting teams are actively working in Geraki to contain a fire that has already devastated forested areas and destroyed homes.

Greetings! So, these past few days I read in Proto Thema and on protothema.gr the excellent commemorative piece by Panos Loukakos, marking 50 years of New Democracy, which is being celebrated today. The highly engaging novel-like text on the 50 years of New Democracy naturally focuses on its founder, Konstantinos Karamanlis, and the chosen title is a quote from him: “Am I the right-winger?

This Sunday is decision day for the leadership race in PASOK, a race that could determine not only the future of PASOK but the way forward for the broader center-left.

With six candidates vying to take over the party, the drama in PASOK is likely to continue beyond Sunday's election as a runoff is expected between the two leading candidates.

The structural changes proposed by SYRIZA’s President, Stefanos Kasselakis, have triggered significant shifts within the party.
