Antonis Samaras prepares launch of new political party in Greece

Antonis Samaras new political party Greek politics New Democracy government coalition

Former Prime Minister Antonis Samaras is finalizing preparations for the launch of a new political party in Greece. Reports indicate that organizational offices have been secured and ballot preparations are largely complete. The party's program and specific policy positions are currently being processed by Samaras and his close associates.

Political analysts suggest the official announcement may occur in September, potentially before the next election call. While Samaras has not officially declared the party's founding, his inner circle, including Nikos Tsoutsias, remains in contact with New Democracy members. Some polling suggests an upward trend in interest regarding his new political movement.

The potential emergence of this party creates a dilemma for the ruling New Democracy party. While Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has expressed a desire to avoid cooperation with Samaras, the prospect of a coalition government following future elections remains a topic of debate. Potential partners for New Democracy include PASOK, which has committed to not co-governing if Mitsotakis remains Prime Minister, and potentially Kyriakos Velopoulos of Greek Solution, despite existing political friction.
