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.

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.

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.

Greece saw a change in its main opposition party on Thursday after a wave of defections from the leftist SYRIZA party opened the door for the center-left PASOK to challenge the dominance of rightist Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

SYRIZA could soon lose its position as the main opposition party, as reports suggest that three more MPs are considering leaving. If this happens, PASOK could become the main opposition party in the Greek parliament.

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

PASOK is carefully navigating shifting political dynamics on its left, as SYRIZA and its splinter group, the New Left, hold their respective conferences, all while confronting a dual offensive from the right.

The Migration and Asylum Ministry is facing a severe funding crisis, with unpaid bills reaching nearly €65.8 million.
