Tsipras' Political Comeback: New Party on the Horizon?

In a surprising political move, former Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras resigned from his parliamentary role on Monday, sparking speculation about his next steps. Known for his anti-austerity stance during Greece's debt crisis, Tsipras' departure from his Syriza party position hints at potential political realignment.

Although Tsipras has not formally announced his plans, his departure is widely viewed as the beginning of a new chapter in his political career. His potential re-emergence may challenge the current centre-right government led by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, whose popularity has recently declined.

With Tsipras stepping down from Syriza leadership after electoral defeats, the once unified party has fragmented, paving the way for smaller factions and the Socialist PASOK party to gain prominence. The political landscape in Greece could be set for significant changes with Tsipras' possible return to frontline politics.
