Rena Dourou criticizes focus on leadership over policy in Greece

Rena Dourou, President of the SYRIZA-PS Parliamentary Group, has criticized the Greek political landscape for focusing on individual leaders rather than substantive policy issues. In an interview with TV100, Dourou stated that searching for a figure to defeat Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, instead of discussing essential policies, is an indicator of immaturity within the Left and Greek society at large.

Dourou emphasized that SYRIZA-PS is prioritizing issues such as housing policy, cost of living, and tax policy. The party has requested a discussion in the Parliament's Economic Affairs Committee regarding a bill to address rising private debt and has submitted a proposal to the European Commission to tackle the impact of funds and servicers. She also noted that the party is pursuing a proposal for an investigative committee.

Addressing questions regarding potential alliances, Dourou stated that the party's statutes mandate seeking programmatic alliances and convergences with progressive parties and citizens. She dismissed claims that polling data supports the dominance of other political factions, asserting that the party remains focused on the practical needs of households.
