SYRIZA parliamentary group decline and internal conflict

Overview

The SYRIZA parliamentary group in Greece has experienced a significant decline in size and internal cohesion. Following the expulsion of MP Nina Kasimati and the decision by former Vice President Olga Gerovasili to become an independent MP, the group’s strength fell to 10 members. This reduction dropped SYRIZA to the fifth-largest parliamentary group, trailing behind Greek Solution.

Internal tensions escalated as leadership criticized Gerovasili for supporting Alexis Tsipras’s Greek Left Coalition (ELAS) while still holding her parliamentary seat. SYRIZA leadership characterized this move as part of an “organized plan to dissolve SYRIZA” led by former leadership and independent MPs. The party has called for the resignation of those involved to maintain political integrity.
