At the same time, he assured that <strong>SYRIZA<\/strong> will remain active in political developments.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Yannoulis Criticizes Tsipras\u2019s Decision: No one can do it alone<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Speaking on <strong>Parapolitika 90.1<\/strong>, <strong>Christos Giannoulis<\/strong> made it clear that there was never a proposal for cooperation with EL.A.S., but rather a broader call for all progressive forces to join together against government policies. As he noted, the question at hand is whether anyone can bring about a change without the necessary common ground and the required unity.<\/p>\n<p>He expressed his reservations about the choice of <strong>Alexis Tsipras<\/strong>, emphasizing that, although it is his inalienable right, he does not believe that this particular stance contributes to the fundamental political goal of creating a <strong>victorious front<\/strong>. He further emphasized that politics requires the consistent rallying of forces along the path of the Left, in order to formulate a credible alternative proposal for governance.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>press spokesperson<\/strong> for SYRIZA also noted that the party president did not propose a coalition for reasons of party survival or personal ambitions, but rather proposed the formation of a broader front that would increase the chances of an electoral victory and limit the risk of another defeat.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>SYRIZA in the Elections \u2013 Anxiety Over a New Split<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Responding to a question about the electoral presence of <strong>SYRIZA<\/strong>, <strong>Christos Giannoulis<\/strong> assured that the party will continue its political and parliamentary activities as usual, emphasizing that \u201cit will not pull the plug\u201d on its political presence.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, he acknowledged that <strong>Alexis Tsipras<\/strong> continues to possess strong political momentum, but noted that he could have leveraged that influence by pursuing the changes he proposes through <strong>SYRIZA<\/strong>, rather than taking a different path.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, when asked about the possibility of further defections and yet another split within the party, he stated that he would make every effort to prevent such a scenario, noting, however, that he cannot predict what the final outcome will be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christos Giannoulis criticized Alexis Tsipras, called for a united progressive front, ruled out SYRIZA\u2019s resignation, and warned of divisions.<br \/>\nThe &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13026,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13025","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13025","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13025"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13025\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/13026"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13025"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13025"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13025"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
