Syriza

MPs from three opposition parties have walked out of the parliamentary committee probing the Tempe train disaster after accusing ruling New Democracy of trying to engineer a "cover-up" and acquit those responsible.

SYRIZA leader Stefanos Kasselakis appears to be increasingly isolated as criticism of his leadership is not only coming from opponents within the party, but also from those who had until recently backed him.

Turmoil has gripped the main opposition party SYRIZA's internal politics following the circulation of a survey that sought party members' opinions on the party's identity. The political secretariat convened an emergency meeting on Monday, in the absence of the party's leader Stefanos Kasselakis, ahead of a scheduled party congress on Thursday.

SYRIZA leader Stefanos Kasselakis will visit London on Sunday, following an invitation to speak at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) on Monday evening.

Greece's 300-member Parliament approved the bill granting same-sex couples equal rights in marriage in a roll call vote on Thursday night. The reform extends full parental rights to gay couples but will not allow for medically assisted reproduction through a surrogate.

The bill was voted on by 254 lawmakers, with 176 voting in favor and 76 against.

The large turnout at a Tuesday evening event that sought to answer the question: "Who can stand up to Mitsotakis' dominance?" reflects the eagerness of center-left voters to identify a figure that can inspire them.

Greece's main opposition party SYRIZA said it will vote in favor of a government bill allowing same-sex couples to marry, noting however that the legislation is "incomplete". 

The Parliament will vote on the same-sex marriage bill on Thursday night, with ruling New Democracy, main opposition SYRIZA and PASOK, Course of Freedom and New Left having stated that they will back it.

Stefanos Kasselakis, the leader of the main opposition SYRIZA, has pledged to abolish the immunity of MPs from prosecution if his party comes into power.
