Alexis Tsipras is a great chapter for the democratic faction as a whole and not only for SYRIZA, emphasized George Tsipras speaking today (27.02.2024) in the First Program.
Asked to comment on the possibility of Alexis Tsipras returning to SYRIZA, Giorgos Tsipras, director of the SYRIZA Parliamentary Group, characteristically said “personally, not only do I not rule it out, I wish it and I think many people wish it too, but it is not about now in every case. It’s about the future.”
“A lot of people trust him and refer to him, not only through SYRIZA, I think from the wider progressive space and in this sense it is anything but over” he added, talking about the former president of the party.
“Let me put it this way. Until the elections of May 23 and June, the people who were electorally positioned to the left of the New Democracy was more than 50%. I don’t think, even if there are changes and obviously there are changes, we have a strengthening of the right and far right together in our country at unprecedented levels, I don’t think that this world has ceased to exist, evaporated in some magical way. He may have gone home, he may not have gone to vote, he may have voted for smaller parties, but this world exists. But what exists at the same time is a huge lack of expression of this world. Obviously we didn’t manage to express him and that’s why we went to 18%, but PASOK doesn’t express him either. Therefore, there is a big gap that needs to be filled, if we want there to be another pole in Greek society that expresses progressive policies,” added Mr. Tsipras.
