Syriza

SYRIZA's internal elections this weekend are a crucial test for the embattled party as it grapples with dwindling voter enthusiasm. 

Party leaders hope turnout surpasses 70,000 voters - anything less would signify another blow for a party struggling after losing its position as Greece's main opposition.

Stefanos Kasselakis will present the key principles of his party’s program and its name today at 12 noon at the Michalis Kakogiannis Foundation

Even if we lived in a fishbowl, the turbulence in our political scene would be important. New Democracy finally rid itself of a former prime minister who was continually seeking attention by playing the popular roles of embittered messiah and compulsive Cassandra.

The process of moving PASOK’s offices in Parliament began at noon on Friday, to those with the number “69” where SYRIZA was located until yesterday, and traditionally the party that is in the position of the main opposition is entitled to it.

Hello, the main topic of yesterday, at least in politics, is PASOK’s ascent to the position of Official Opposition after almost 15 years, albeit through a convoluted path, with plenty of drama and four splits within SYRIZA. Cause for celebration for the historic center-left party?

In an unprecedented turn of events, Greece's Parliament finds itself in a state of profound instability, a scenario unseen in the post-war era. The political landscape, shaped by the 2023 elections, has been dramatically reshaped as six out of eight parliamentary parties face significant defections and expulsions.

SYRIZA continues to lose members at its grassroots level, with resignations escalating ahead of the upcoming elections for a new party leader scheduled for this Sunday, according to sources close to Stefanos Kasselakis’ team.

New spatial arrangements and office moves are taking place within the Greek Parliament, following the latest split in SYRIZA after the defection of Theodora Tzakri and Giota Poulou. As a result, PASOK has now become the official opposition party, as it has the second-highest number of seats in Parliament.

The televised debate among SYRIZA presidential candidates, which aired on ERT News on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, garnered significant interest from the viewing public.

According to available data, more than 638,000 viewers tuned in for at least one minute, with an average viewership of 286,600.

The new split in the SYRIZA parliamentary group has led to the loss of the official opposition title without the need for an election for the first time in post-junta history.
