Alexis Tsipras, a former prime minister of Greece, formally announced the establishment of a new political party named the Greek Left Alliance (ELAS). According to a report carried by Anadolu Agency, Tsipras presented the initiative to the public, describing it as a concrete step in the reorganisation of the Greek left.
Tsipras previously served as leader of SYRIZA, Greece's established left-wing party, and governed the country between 2015 and 2019. Following SYRIZA's heavy defeat in the 2023 elections, he stepped down from the party leadership and has kept a low profile in politics since.
The founding of ELAS could further complicate the already fragmented landscape of the Greek left. The political development in Greece — which shares land and sea borders with Turkey — will be closely watched for its implications for bilateral relations.
