Μake us preferred on Google Greek political party SYRIZA has delivered an ultimatum to MPs who defected from the party: return your parliamentary seats. The Political Secretariat argues that these MPs were elected with SYRIZA ballots and SYRIZA votes, and that keeping the seats “feeds scenarios of a plan to dismantle SYRIZA and shrink its parliamentary strength”. The demand is aimed at recent departures- including Olga Gerovasili- whose move toward former Greek PM Alexis Tsipras’s new political party has intensified internal pressure.
SYRIZA’s leadership insists the party will not respond with personal clashes but with “politics, program, and social presence”, signaling a “controlled restart” rather than escalation.
Party officials believe the past month has shown that SYRIZA retains the ability to shape public debate through interventions on energy prices, housing, private debt, taxation, and public universities.
SYRIZA, like most other Greek political parties, is preparing to roll out its full political program around the time of the Thessaloniki International Fair (TIF). The package will include detailed proposals on prices, income, public DEI, housing, private debt, taxation, labor, welfare, health, education, regional development, and democratic institutions- a comprehensive attempt to present an alternative to the incumbent government’s policies.
The political party, known officially as Progressive Alliance, is Greece’s main center‑left opposition party, historically rooted in the radical left but now positioned as a broad social‑democratic force. After internal turbulence and high‑profile departures, the party is attempting to stabilize its polling position while competing with PASOK and facing pressure from Alexis Tsipras’s new formation, EL.A.S.
