Main opposition SYRIZA was plunged into further turmoil at the weekend after its leader, Stefanos Kasselakis, whose tenure at the helm has been challenged by party cadres, took his predecessor, Alexis Tsipras, to task in a social media post late Friday asking for support "without games."

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.”

After the unlikely choice of an ex-Goldman Sachs banker to lead SYRIZA, the party is considering another revamp of its image, officially moving from the radical-left to the center-left.

Three members of SYRIZA's political secretariat are urging the main opposition party to join the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats (S&D) political group in the European Parliament, stating that the move is a crucial component of a broader strategy aimed at positioning it as the primary representative of the progressive political space in Greece.
