With officials who, under SYRIZA were on the\u2026 front lines, Alexis Tsipras<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Alexis Tsipras\u2019s ELAS has formed\u2026 a shadow government, that is, he appointed sector heads<\/b> who are supposed to oppose the government\u2014the legitimate, elected one\u2014and will also submit proposals as part of an expected program,<\/b> although, from what has become known so far, it seems that aside from the officials who have left SYRIZA for the new party, they have also adopted the logic of the program Thessaloniki as well as from earlier years prior to 2015.<\/p>\n
The officials appointed by Alexis Tsipras to lead various sectors of his party are, for the most part, SYRIZA officials or individuals who aligned themselves with the party\u2019s positions when Alexis Tsipwas at the helm, either as leader of the official opposition or as prime minister.<\/p>\n
There are also some who come from PASOK<\/b>, but this is neither a novelty nor a surprise to voters.<\/p>\n
Alexis Tsipras\u2019s shadow cabinet includes individuals who have at times stood by him or supported his positions. They were candidates for the Greek Parliament or the European Parliament and also appeared on the national party lists in honorary positions.<\/b><\/p>\n
Some of them had also been involved in the past in drafting the party\u2019s platforms, albeit as regional players, since in the past, other officials\u2014commonly referred to as \u201ctop-tier\u201d\u2014were at the forefront. Those who are currently on the sidelines waiting for\u2026 a signal from their leader to be released from their suspension, or are on the opposite side, keeping their distance from him.<\/p>\n
Essentially, Alexis Tsipras announced his new team without including a single SYRIZA MP\u2014not even one who is currently independent<\/b>. However, he was unable to break away from his old party, since it remains his primary\u2026 source of support, both in terms of manpower and voters.<\/p>\n
Simply put\u2014and based on what current officials and spokespeople are promising\u2014ELAS is SYRIZA with a new tax ID number and old ideas.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
