Syriza's Sunday Crack-Up: Greece's Opposition in Disarray
Greece's main opposition party, Syriza, is experiencing a major crisis as dozens of members have resigned over the weekend. The party, which gained notoriety during the financial crisis in 2015, is now fragmented and struggling to maintain its position as the main opposition. The election of ex-Goldman Sachs banker Stefanos Kasselakis as Syriza leader has caused outrage within the party, with critics accusing him of being out of touch and lacking a political agenda. The departure of a left-wing faction and the potential expulsion of dissenters have further deepened the party's crisis. Kasselakis hopes to shape the party in his vision by pushing out dissenters, but the risks are high, and the Greek center-left faces an uphill struggle to regain political influence.
