He also came up with the same vocabulary about the ruling <b>Left<\/b>, except that he has added the &#8230; new age. Seeking voters in the same pool he left behind, the former prime minister, former president and former SYRIZA MP brought back the &#8220;black artichokes&#8221; of 2023 that led to his 17.8% and his <b>retirement<\/b> from the leadership of his party.<\/p>\n<p>The only <b>difference<\/b> now for Alexis Tsipras is that he is trying to appear as a <b>political messiah<\/b> without <b>Syriza<\/b>. Or rather without a part of SYRIZA and the marquee that mentions the name. Otherwise, as if not a day has passed.<\/p>\n<p><b>Elite, PPC, Banks<\/b> to be <b>taxed<\/b> to find the money to save the country. Dignity and everything he has been saying since 2011 came back to his lips and he said he was ready to win the next election although he avoided saying it even by one vote since that has been taken away from him after 2023 by another, his rival for second place.<\/p>\n<p>The highlight of his <b>speech<\/b> &#8211; which he hadn&#8217;t planned but was pushed by those gathered &#8211; was the reference to the ruling left, the one we all lived through from <b>2015 to 2019<\/b> with the known results, but also lines that don&#8217;t change, such as the one about the child and the need.<\/p>\n<p>What did he say? That the progressive party he wants to build is &#8220;the <b>mature child<\/b> of a people&#8217;s need&#8221;. Nice line. Except that he forgot to put SYRIZA first, as he did in 2022 when he declared at the first meeting of the Central Committee that &#8220;SYRIZA PS is the mature child of a need with an end in itself, not power but the liberation of the social majority, the prevalence of national interests, the prevalence of social justice&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Or when he declared in June 2023 before the elections that &#8220;SYRIZA is the mature child of the need of Greek society and the Greek people.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alexis Tsipras appeared at the performance at the Theatre of Rematia selling the same seaweed for silk ribbons.<br \/>\nUnrepentant, defiant, not&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5133,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5132","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\/5132","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=5132"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5132\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
