Kasselakis Launches New Political Party as Syriza Faces Leadership Test

09:48 23/11/2024 - Πηγή: iEfimerida

Stefanos Kasselakis is set today to  launch his new political movement at the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation, presenting its founding declaration and unveiling the party's name, chosen through an online member vote.

The announcement marks a key moment for Mr. Kasselakis, who seeks to establish a progressive and participatory

force in Greek politics after his recent departure as Syriza leader.  

Behind the celebratory tone, efforts to form a parliamentary group are intensifying. Six former Syriza MPs, including Theodora Tzakri and Giota Poulou, have declared independence, and discussions are reportedly ongoing with others. 

Securing the necessary ten MPs would grant Mr. Kasselakis' party formal parliamentary representation, significantly amplifying its political clout.  

Meanwhile, Syriza faces its own pivotal moment with leadership elections underway. 

Party insiders view voter turnout as critical to demonstrating unity and re-establishing momentum. Syriza’s parliamentary leader has urged members to participate en masse, framing the election as a decisive opportunity for renewal.  

Leadership contenders have sharpened their rhetoric. Socratis Famellos pledged to expand Syriza and initiate collaborations with progressive parties, while Nikos Farantouris criticized his rivals for lacking substantive proposals, escalating tensions ahead of the vote.  

Former Syriza leader Alexis Tsipras weighed in with a stark message, urging progressive forces to navigate the current challenges with both resolve and pragmatism. 

Highlighting an era of uncertainty, Mr. Tsipras called for clear answers to Greece’s pressing issues, framing this period as crucial for shaping the future of the country's left-wing politics.  

The dual developments—Mr. Kasselakis’ new venture and Syriza’s leadership election—signal a transformative moment for Greece's political landscape, with both paths poised to redefine the country’s progressive movement.
