For some strange reason, within the Hellenic Police Force \u2014but also outside of it\u2014some people are trying to convince others that Tsipras resigned in 2023.<\/p>\n
This may be part of the narrative that Alexis Tsipras has rebranded himself and is now espousing new\u2026 positions, or it may be an attempt to show that he is not aligned with the \u201cworn-out\u201d SYRIZA<\/b>. Perhaps that is why columnists chronicling this new\u2026 course fail to mention these things.<\/p>\n
The truth is that in 2023, after suffering two crushing defeats, Alexis Tsipras resigned as president of SYRIZA and nothing more<\/b>. He then sought to have a say in the succession process by promoting Stefanos Kasselakis<\/b>, with many officials at the party headquarters claiming\u2014ever since then\u2014that his aim was to dismantle the party. <\/p>\n
The situation got out of hand, and although he attempted to play a role and initiate procedures for electing a new president, he failed, but he subsequently contributed to the farcical events that unfolded in the\u2026 bouzouki clubs <\/b>with the expulsion of Stefanos Kasselakis and then in the election process of Sokratis Famellos<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Alexis Tsipras resigned as a member of parliament and from SYRIZA in October 2025\u2014two full years after stepping down as party president. And until then, he had retained all the privileges associated with his position as SYRIZA\u2019s member of parliament for Piraeus, without ever engaging with Piraeus\u2014at least as a\u2026 constituency.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s when he discovered there was no opposition and launched his communications campaign through\u2026 Ithaca<\/b>, eventually going on to found a party and leave his former comrades out in the cold, forced to beg to be accepted into his new venture while they remain SYRIZA MPs.<\/p>\n
In other words, even though he remained in the party for two years, he is now asking SYRIZA MPs to resign from their seats and register as volunteer members of EL.A.S. without any commitment regarding their placement on the candidate lists to be drawn up for the upcoming elections.<\/b><\/p>\n
Now, the fact that he managed to carry out\u2026 a rebranding in eight months is an issue that, if nothing else, does not emerge from what he himself says and advocates\u2014promising everything to everyone\u2014nor from his staff, although some are already attempting to distance themselves from his promises and new delusions.<\/p>\n
In any case, for two consecutive years\u2014and then some\u2014 Alexis Tsipras did not speak out against Kasselaki\u2019s policies until the controversy over SYRIZA\u2019s \u201cslush funds\u201d began<\/b>. Just as he did not disagree until October 2025 regarding his party\u2019s tactics\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
