A group of former socialist heavyweights are set to launch "Decision Time," a new centrist political movement on Wednesday.

To Potami has decided to join forces with Decision Time, a new political movement set up by former socialist heavyweights Anna Diamantopolou, Yiannis Ragousis and Giorgos Floridis, the flagging centrist party said late Sunday.

Eradicating graft is top priority of the government, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said Friday adding that the SYRIZA-led administration had the "moral high ground" to deal with the problem.

A lawmaker with To Potami on Tuesday announced his resignation, leaving the centrist party with six seats in the 300-seat House.

Larissa MP Constantinos Bargiotas wrote a letter to party leader Stavros Theodorakis expressing his disappointment with the party's "failure to produce policy."

Judges at an Athens first instance court on Thursday heard a libel suit brought by Defense Minister and Independent Greeks party chief Panos Kammenos against writer and cartoonist Andreas Petroulakis over an article published on the Protagon website in 2015.

Former PASOK ministers are gearing up for a new attempt to launch a party that will located between SYRIZA and New Democracy on the political spectrum, according to sources.

Centrist Potami was left with eight MPs in Greece's 300-seat Parliament on Monday after the deputy Katerina Markou announced her departure from the party, complaining at the refusal of leader Stavros Theodorakis to cooperate with other parties.

In a letter to Theodorakis, Markou announced her withdrawal and said she would be standing as an independent MP.

The Alternate Minister of Health Pavlos Polakis appeared to double down after the controversy he caused by blatantly attacking ALPHA TV’s journalist, Evangelia Tsikrika and SKAI TV journalist Pavlos Tsimas.

To Potami deputy Haris Theoharis, the former general secretary for public revenues, revealed Tuesday that he is leaving the centrist party to continue as an independent MP.

In a letter to Potami leader Stavros Theodorakis, Theoharis said that he had become disillusioned with the party and felt that it is not providing the voters that supported it with "something new."

Manipulation of justice was the favorite sport of all governments, said Potami leader Stavros Theodorakis during his speech at parliamentary debate on justice issues.

Apparently, he said, it is this government’s priority, too.
