“It is difficult to respond to the first split in the history of the Left and progressive politics that takes place outside of political bodies, outside of party processes, without a political dispute and without any substantial disagreement,” main opposition SYRIZA-Progressive Aliance said in an announcement on Thursday, after the resignation of several MPs and senior executives from the party.
SYRIZA commented that for those who on Thursday announced “their departure from the party with which they were elected on the basis of a list in June 2023,” the only thing they appear to disagree with “is the result of the internal party elections to elect the party president and their refusal to accept the democratic verdict of the tens of thousands of SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance members.”
“The question remains unanswered: what were the reasons and the aims that led them to disregard the popular mandate,” the announcement concluded, adding: “History will be the judge”.
