Sources: 6. Developments: 2. The SYRIZA political party has engaged in several legislative challenges against the Greek government regarding economic and agricultural policies. Initially, the SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance proposed an amendment to reduce fuel excise taxes to the minimum levels allowed by European Union directives, citing rising heating oil prices. The party criticized the government for using fiscal constraints as “excuses” and called for an emergency meeting to discuss the early repayment of 13 billion euros in debt. Subsequently, SYRIZA challenged a government regulation concerning agricultural subsidies for the 2018–2022 period. The party contested the addition of Article 74 to a bill on fisheries, which retroactively regulates subsidy settlements, audits, and recoveries. SYRIZA argued that this intervention could compromise investigations by the European Public Prosecutor's Office into fraud cases involving the OPEKEPE scandal and demanded the withdrawal of the article to ensure transparency. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-22: SYRIZA challenges Greek government amendment on agricultural subsidies SYRIZA is demanding the withdrawal of a new Greek government amendment regarding 2018–2022 agricultural subsidies, citing transparency concerns amid an ongoing European investigation into subsidy fraud. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/syriza-challenges-greek-government-amendment-on-agricultural-subsidies ### 2026-09-21: SYRIZA proposes amendment to reduce fuel excise tax SYRIZA has submitted an amendment to reduce fuel excise duties to EU minimum levels and is demanding a parliamentary inquiry into the early repayment of 13 billion euros in national debt. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/syriza-proposes-amendment-to-reduce-fuel-excise-tax --- Cite as: SYRIZA opposition to Greek government policies.
