Greece: Main opposition further dismantled

Source: Politico

“Greece’s Syriza party cracked up further over the weekend and is about to officially lose its status as the country’s main opposition. The party’s recently deposed leader Stefanos Kasselakis announced on Saturday the creation of a new political movement, taking at least four MPs with him. Speaking to a large cheering crowd outside his new headquarters, the U.S. expat declared that ‘Syriza has closed its democratic chapter’ and positioned himself as the leader of a new, progressive political force. … The move comes a day after Syriza officially confirmed that Kasselakis would not be able to run again for the party leadership in elections set for Nov. 24, with a runoff on Dec. 1 if necessary.” (11/09/24)
