Former Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras announces the formation of a new party, after resigning from the leadership of Syriza.

Alexis Tsipras, former Prime Minister of Greece, returns to politics with the announcement of a new party on May 26, after resigning from the leadership of Syriza in 2023, following a defeat against the conservative Kyriakos Mitsotakis. Tsipras stated that he will not accept active politicians in his new formation, which has generated tensions among Syriza members.

Currently, Mitsotakis's New Democracy leads in polls, but without chances of a one-party majority, making second place crucial, with Tsipras and the PASOK party being the main challengers. Mitsotakis is also facing internal discontent and scandals, and speculation about early elections in 2026 could influence the political landscape. A package of economic measures announced in the fall could affect voting intentions, considering the impact of inflation on the population.
