Besides, he belongs to the <b>New Left<\/b> trend that will not follow the former prime minister. <\/p>\n<p>According to the former speaker of the parliament and former minister in <b>Alexis Tsipras&#8217;s<\/b> government, the former prime minister&#8217;s rhetoric about the ruling Left underestimates the movements and the Left itself. Apparently <b>Alexis Tsipras<\/b> wants to prove that he is the only one who can lead the Left back to power. <\/p>\n<h3> Opposed to affiliations<\/h3>\n<p> <\/p>\n<p> <b>Nikos Voutsis<\/b> among others sent messages to the members of the <b>New Left<\/b> and to his former comrades in <b>Syriza<\/b> who want to follow <b>Alexis Tsipras<\/b>.  <\/p>\n<p>And he said something very simple: Why do they want to follow <b>Alexis Tsipras<\/b> so badly, if he hasn&#8217;t invited them to the new party? And especially when the former prime minister stresses in every way that he wants to go with new faces?  <\/p>\n<p>Obviously most of the cadres are interested in their political survival and <b>Alexis Tsipras<\/b> in votes, so he&#8217;s going to put water on the wagon for many of them. Yet here <b>Nikos Voutsis<\/b> is pointing out the political unworthiness of those who sat on the sidelines and continue to beg <b>Alexis Tsipras<\/b>. <\/p>\n<p>The references by <b>Nikos Voutsis<\/b> are not just coincidental, as a week of rapid developments is expected, with many <b>Syriza<\/b> executives again declaring their support for the former prime minister. <\/p>\n<p> <b>Following post with his interview:<\/b> <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"el\" dir=\"ltr\">Boutsis: &#8220;I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s right for someone to go to Tsipras&#8217; party when he&#8217;s not inviting anyone. In all ways he says &#8220;I want to be with young people, I want to distance myself from the past&#8221;. It doesn&#8217;t express me, just like the manifesto that was made public.
