Former Greek PM Tsipras Launches New 'Elas' Party to Unite Fragmented Left
Alexis Tsipras vows to build a broad leftist alliance under his new party as Greece's opposition remains divided.
Former Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has launched a new party called "Elas" with the stated aim of uniting Greece's fragmented opposition under a broad leftist alliance.
Tsipras made the vow as he unveiled the new political vehicle, positioning it as an attempt to consolidate left-wing forces that have remained scattered since his time in government.
The move marks a significant step in Tsipras's political comeback effort. Greece's opposition has struggled to present a unified front, and Tsipras is betting that a new organisational structure can bring disparate groups together.
No launch date for the party's formal registration or details of founding membership numbers were included in the POLITICO Europe report.
