Former Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras is expected to arrive at the Supreme Civil and Criminal Court of Greece, in Athens, at 12:00 p.m. to officially submit the founding declaration of his new political party, the Greek Left Alliance (EL.A.S.).
Alongside the party’s founding charter, signatures from members backing Tsipras’ new political initiative will also be filed, completing the formal legal process required for the recognition of the new political formation.
The declaration bears the title: “Alliance for Greece, Justice and Democracy – For a Life with Dignity.” The text places strong emphasis on social justice, democratic renewal, labor protection, tackling inflation and inequality, as well as the need for a new productive economic model and a different foreign policy approach.
It also addresses broader international developments, armed conflicts, the climate crisis, and the social consequences of globalization, while delivering sharp criticism both of the current government and of Greece’s post-dictatorship political establishment as a whole.
A central theme of the declaration is the call for “A New Democratic Era” centered on transparency, accountability, and the restoration of public trust in institutions.
During the presentation of EL.A.S., Tsipras outlined seven key commitments shaping the party’s agenda.
First, it pledges a life with dignity for all citizens. Second, it commits to strengthening democracy by eliminating immunity and impunity, while reinforcing transparency and oversight across political power and public spending. Third, it aims to build a fair-growth economy with renewed emphasis on agriculture and manufacturing.
Fourth, EL.A.S. defends a rights-based welfare state against profiteering, ensuring universal access to healthcare, education, social protection, housing, and culture. Fifth, it seeks a more resilient Greece capable of facing global challenges such as energy insecurity and climate change.
Sixth, it promotes “digital democracy and sovereignty,” supporting national technological infrastructure protected by sovereignty safeguards. Finally, it calls for a stronger Greece with an active, multidimensional foreign policy, protecting its rights while building bridges of peace through what Tsipras described as a “new national compass.”
