SYRIZA outlines political priorities and calls for opposition cooperation
The SYRIZA Electoral Committee met on Thursday to define the party's priorities under the leadership of Stefanos Koumoundouros. The committee emphasized the strengthening of the party by implementing decisions from the Central Committee's October 17 meeting, focusing on political autonomy and programmatic identity.
A key component of the meeting involved criticizing government policy and calling for the return of parliamentary seats by former members. The party also issued a call to other opposition parties to support the formation of an investigative committee regarding ‘red loans,’ investment funds, servicers, and state guarantees under the ‘Hercules’ scheme to ensure parliamentary oversight of debt management.
SYRIZA's programmatic focus includes social housing, income enhancement, tax justice, and public control over strategic economic sectors. Additionally, the party advocated for the rule of law and an active foreign policy guided by international law. The committee noted that while SYRIZA proposed cooperation among progressive forces, PASOK and New Left (ELAS) did not accept these prospects.
