Sokratis Famellos

Journalist and SYRIZA MP Giorgos Karameros has been appointed the party's new press spokesperson.

Thanasis Theoharopoulos has been named director of the office of SYRIZA's new leader, Sokratis Famellos.

Giorgos Bagkis, a close associate of Famellos, will take on the role of director of the party's parliamentary group.

Sokratis Famellos, the recently elected new leader of the leftist SYRIZA party, which recently lost its status as the main opposition following a wave of defections, presented a party restart plan to former leader Alexis Tsipras, at the latter's office in central Athens on Thursday. 

Sokratis Famellos, the new president of SYRIZA, held a meeting with former Prime Minister and SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras.

The meeting between the two men took place on Thursday afternoon at Tsipras’ office in central Athens.

From the very first days of his presence at the helm of Koumoundourou, the new party chairman, Socrates Famellos, has been moving towards a “reliable and large SYRIZA“, as his contacts and meetings with MPs and executives inside and outside the party’s walls have been successive in recent hours.

The fact that SYRIZA managed to bring an end to its adventures with Stefanos Kasselakis - albeit it in a not very democratic way, admittedly - and to democratically elect a decent, if not brilliant, new leader in Sokratis Famellos is good news for Greece's earthquake-prone political system.

A new nationwide survey by Pulse showed ruling New Democracy maintaining a significant lead, with socialist PASOK solidifying its position in second place.

Hello, today I want to focus on two books from which I managed to read excerpts and found quite interesting. The first is the memoir of Merkel, including everything she says about us—Greece. During her tenure, we went back and forth—figuratively and literally—within and outside of Europe, and endured the hardships of the bailout programs. I read the Greek excerpts with great attention.

The election on Sunday of Sokratis Famellos as SYRIZA's new leader marks a pivotal moment for Greece's left-wing party as it seeks to rebuild after significant electoral losses. 

The left-wing SYRIZA party, whose MP Sokratis Famellos was elected as it new leader Sunday, announced the election's official final results Monday, giving Famellos 49.36% of the vote.  

Greek political parties are assessing the new landscape following the recent significant developments across the political spectrum.
