Former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras officially launched a new political party, the Greek Left Alliance, or ELAS, presenting it as a way to make a “new Greece,” while fiercely attacking both the conservative government and the country’s traditional center-left establishment.

Speaking at an event in central Athens with the Acropolis in the background, Tsipras said the new movement would be "more than a party" and represent "a broad political tradition."

He said Greece could no longer "watch passively as society suffocates and the country continually loses prestige."

Tsipras described the new party as an attempt to mobilize voters who had withdrawn from political life, focusing on low wages, housing pressures, insecurity, the rising cost of living and what he described as the erosion of social rights and democratic standards.

He accused the government of Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis of corruption, saying that "extrajudicial interest centers influence or even control political parties and governments."

He also criticized PASOK, arguing that Greece's two traditional parties had become a "system within a system" and were dependent on the banks because of their debts.

The new party's founding declaration set out seven priorities, including "life with dignity", stronger democratic oversight, fair economic development, social protection, climate and energy security, digital sovereignty and a more active foreign policy.

Tsipras also called for what he described as a “moral revolution” and a “new patriotism” linked to social justice and democratic accountability.

Although SYRIZA and Nea Aristera MPs did not participate in the event, with the aim of avoiding the new party's direct connection with existing formations, several mid-level officials and parliamentary associates from both parties were present at the rally.

According to reports from the activity, the participants represented different age groups, with middle-aged and elderly supporters dominating, while young people were also present.
