Syriza

SYRIZA announced on Sunday that it will pursue legal action against former party president Stefanos Kasselakis, accusing him of submitting inaccurate wealth declarations.

This announcement follows the conclusion of the party's congress and Kasselakis' announcement of forming a new party on Saturday.

On Monday, SYRIZA is expected to approach the judiciary regarding Kaselakis‘ offshore accounts, in light of the claims made by Pavlos Polakis during the Political Secretariat’s meeting last week.

Unprecedented shifts in political and parliamentary balances are caused by SYRIZA‘s new split.

SYRIZA circles from Koumoundourou accuse a plot of “defection” and a conspiracy aimed at removing SYRIZA from the main opposition.

In a dramatic turn of events, former SYRIZA leader Stefanos Kasselakis announced the creation of a new party to his supporters on Saturday, signifying the leftist party's implosion course. 

A day after announcing his departure from SYRIZA, former leader Stefanos Kasselakis unveiled the creation of a new political movement on Saturday.

Speaking to a large, vocal crowd chanting slogans outside his new headquarters in Tavros, southern Athens, Kasselakis declared, "Today is a joyful day because a movement of democracy, free citizens, and progress is being created."

Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis reacted on Saturday to the fractious turmoil within the left-wing opposition party SYRIZA, which appears to have reached a peak during the party's ongoing congress.

SYRIZA MP Kyriaki Malama has announced her departure from the main opposition leftist party to serve as an independent MP.

This development reduces SYRIZA's representation in the 300-member Parliament to 31 seats, matching the number held by the socialist party PASOK. 

Tectonic changes in political and parliamentary balances are being caused by SYRIZA‘s new split, which now directly threatens to strip it of its status as the main opposition party.

Following a dramatic three-hour SYRIZA congress, the internal conflict dubbed “87 vs. Kasselakis” culminated late Friday night. Today, Kasselakis is set to unveil a new “movement,” which he described as an independent and progressive party.
