Shadow Cabinet of Alexis Tsipras

Alexis Tsipras, leader of left-wing party SYRIZA, stated that these elections are important for the future of democracy in Greece from the voting station in Peristeri where he cast his ballot.

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis appears to lay speculation of a possible post-election partnership with socialist PASOK to rest in this interview with Kathimerini, just a week before Greeks head to the polls.

The leader of main opposition SYRIZA, Alexis Tsipras, will travel to Berlin on Thursday for a two-day visit.

Tsipras plans to address Greeks living in Germany at an event organized by the city's SYRIZA organization on Thursday at 8 p.m.

This will be followed by a meeting with the leadership of Germany's left-wing party, Die Linke. 

35.3% want a coalition government of ND-PASOK

Throughout the world, opposition parties oppose. They oppose policy, point out government errors, expose their rivals, put forward proposals etc. What the main opposition in Greece does, though, is threaten.

Leftist opposition leader Alexis Tsipras went on the offensiveon Monday as he launched a campaign aimed at expanding his party's electoral catchment, accusing the New Democracy government of reneging on its pre-election promises.

An investigation into the claims of politicians implicated in the Novartis bribery scandal that the case was fabricated and politically motivated moved another step forward on Tuesday with the testimony of former conservative prime minister Antonis Samaras.

The easy bit is over for newly elected Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis - at least as regards beating SYRIZA and forming a majority New Democracy government. Up until a couple of months ago, these were not things that could be taken for granted, regardless of what some people now claim.

The political scene changed utterly Sunday, as New Democracy swept to a convincing victory over the ruling SYRIZA party in European Parliament elections. Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras had framed the poll as a vote of confidence in his government, his policies and himself. The vote, however, turned out to be not only a defeat for Tsipras but also an earthquake in Greece's politics.

Alexis Tsipras has appointed the President of the Democratic Left (DIMAR) party, Thanasis Theoharopoulos, as the new minister for tourism following the resignation on Friday of Elena Kountoura, who will be running for a seat in European Parliament later this month on the SYRIZA ticket.
