Euclid Tsakalotos, the former finance minister and one of the 11 MPs who bolted from SYRIZA to create the New Left party, said former leader Alexis Tsipras needed to make his own self-criticism.

Former SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras intervened in the ongoing party turmoil on Thursday, criticizing the party's direction and urging new leader Stefanos Kasselakis to seek a fresh vote of confidence from party members.

A major crisis that broke out earlier this week within the main opposition SYRIZA party was averted at the last minute with the party congress set to start on Thursday under a fragile and temporary truce among opposing sides.

Escaping the grip of populism requires a combination of honesty and flexibility, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has said.

Main opposition party SYRIZA released a statement on Sunday demanding that the government address what it termed as "aggressive statements by Erdogan" following the US State Department's approval of Turkey's request for F-16s.

The main opposition SYRIZA party's parliamentary group meeting on the island of Spetses will be extended by one day Sunday, as some MPs did not get to make their thematic presentations.

SYRIZA leader Stefanos Kasselakis has called on his MPs to formulate a "National Plan for the Greek Dream" as the party gathered on the island of Spetses for a three-day retreat. 

It is understood that the main opposition leader opened proceedings by telling his MPs that the meeting would be a productive and creative discussion and exchange of viewpoints among equals.

SYRIZA leader Stefanos Kasselakis has refuted a report alleging that he requested the removal of posters featuring Alexis Tsipras, a former prime minister and his predecessor as the head of the party, from the walls of the main opposition headquarters in Koumoundourou Square.

Three members of SYRIZA's political secretariat are urging the main opposition party to join the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats (S&D) political group in the European Parliament, stating that the move is a crucial component of a broader strategy aimed at positioning it as the primary representative of the progressive political space in Greece.
