Greek Health Minister Calls Tsipras' New Party Rebranding 'Century's Biggest

Greek Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis praised former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras' political comeback, calling the launch of his new party ELAS "the rebranding of the century." He noted that ELAS is polling at about 15.5%, a modest improvement over the 17.5% Tsipras' SYRIZA received in 2023, and highlighted Tsipras' decision to compare his new movement to zero rather than past SYRIZA figures.

Georgiadis described Tsipras as a “Machiavellian” player who has cleared out rivals, saying he expects many former SYRIZA members to be excluded from the new formation. The minister’s comments underline the strategic reshuffling within Greece’s left‑wing politics.
