Alexis Tsipras

Tsipras’ flirt with centrist voters lasted only a few days, as did the rebuke of the Chania, Crete, MP, who immediately unleashed new threats in the social media.

Main opposition SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras can no longer maintain that the trial of a top party cadre by a Special Court is a conspiracy designed by his opponents.

SYRIZA's leader rejected the prospect of a minority government, that would agree to the rule of the top party by either supporting or not voting down its legislation.

Stavros Psycharis was a man who had been around the block, and did not hesitate, when necessary, to soil his hands.

SYRIZA has a way to go before it transforms into a contemporary party that is in touch with the challenges of our times and not caught up in verbalism and ideological fixations.

Party conventions should be an opportunity for a political restart and for changes that update political platforms that will be presented to the electorate.

In his interviews and public appearances, main opposition leader Alexis Tsipras declares the need to 'separate the state from the party' and talks about 'meritocratic institutions'.

Citizens are tired of political cockfights. They seek solutions for a host of problems in their daily lives, with the pandemic and inflation topping the list.

To err is human and citizens will accept an apology even if they have been trapped on Athens’ most expensive motorway for many hours in a snowstorm.

SYRIZA presumed that with a repetition of its enraged rhetoric of 2010-2015, it could ineluctably become the alternative (to ruling New Democracy) pole in the parliamentary system.

Mr. Tsipras declared that, “We are the par excellence party of self-criticism.” Yet, he acknowledged no errors and offered no indication that he has abandoned his populist past.

Even if one accepts the contention that the left-wing government did not intentionally tailor the Criminal Code to benefit Golden Dawn, Syriza has yet to convincingly answer the charge that it was well aware of the repercussions

'That does not mean that the opposition should not do its job, which includes tabling an alternative governmental proposal as it is a shadow government.'

By cultivating a murky identity and wavering between populism and realism, the former PM is attempting to keep his left-wing voters while at the same time wooing disaffected centre-left and centre-right voters.

The cabinet is scheduled to be sworn in on 9 July and the first cabinet meeting is scheduled for 10 July.

'If he wins, Kyriakos Mitsotakis will have to grapple with everything that Alexis Tsipras omitted: An almost bankrupt Public Power Corporation, a problematic public sector, and non-performing loans,' the German daily states in a news analysis.

'Adopting tactics of escalation that lead to an impasse and are fruitless is of no use. It is not a sign of strength. It is a sign of weakness,' the PM said in response to remarks by Tayyip Erdogan.

After defeating SYRIZA by nearly ten percentage points in the 26 May European Parliament election, Mitsotakis hopes to ride the wave of what George H.W. Bush had famously called “the big mo”, political momentum.

It is well known that the Tsipras administration was the most pliant and convenient of all bailout memorandum-era governments for the country’s creditors.

In Greece, the PM and his government are opening a budget gap of billions of euros with measures they announced a few weeks before the election.

Then alternate citizen’s protection minister Nikos Toskas, who was in charge of Greek police, in an apparent effort at plausible deniability declared today that the Prime Minister had not been informed of the deaths because they had not been “officially confirmed”

The government and the education minister are driving young people to the misery of unemployment in the name of petty partisan gain.

Tsipras’ intervention at yesterday’s extraordinary EU summit on Brexit was revealed in a report by Bloomberg, which underlined that the Greek PM flipped the result of the referendum in July, 2015,

In democratic countries attempts to manufacture guilty parties do not go unpunished. Those responsible are held to account by the justice system.

There will be a university of the academic elite on the one hand and on the other faculties that are looked down upon, whose students will have no interest in the subject of their studies.

The so-called “Bridge” initiative to bring together SYRIZA and the centre-left failed because the bridge builders were people who were linked to SYRIZA.

Greece’s Anti-Money Laundering Authority has already sent a judicial assistance request to authorities in the Republic of Cyprus in an effort to uncover a possible money trail and the possible use of offshore companies.

Zaev said he expected fresh Greek investments to exceed €500m. 'The Republic of North Macedonia will have huge economic benefits from the deal that I believe will be seen in every area of the economy,' Zaev said.

The electoral horizon can be measured by opinion polls but also by the results of the European Parliament election in May.

The new law indefinitely freezes the transfer of these Greek minority properties which is normally the right of the rightful owner.

'The Macedonian language is the language of the Macedonians in Australia, America, Canada, Switzerland, and Germany, and no one disputes that,' Zaev declared.

'Unfortunately, day by day it becomes ever clearer that the greatest threat to the national independence , the territorial integrity, and the national interests of Greece is its very government.'

The centre-left owes a debt of gratitude to SYRIZA because its attempts to pillage it ended up rallying it together.

What is impeding the PM’s plan for a progressive front is the stance of Movement for Change leader Fofi Gennimata and of To Potami leader Stavros Theodorakis
