SYRIZA leader and former prime minister Alexis Tsipras on Tuesday evening said he initially considered resigning from the party’s helm in the wake of a catastrophic showing by the leftist party (20.1 percent) in the May 21 election, while adding “I didn’t have the right to desert”.

With a difference of a few hours and for different reasons, Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Alexis Tsipras were yesterday in Western Athens, which on the evening of May 21 changed... color on the electoral map, causing diametrically opposite feelings in two party staffs - celebration on Piraeus Street, gloom in Koumoundourou.

The Legal Affairs Committee of the European Parliament, which met earlier this morning (Tuesday 5/30), said yes to the lifting of the immunity of Alexis Georgoulis.

With a two-day road trip to four prefectures, which were (also) a personal election bet for Kyriakos Mitsotakis, he chooses to open the new cycle of his pre-election tours. With a final horizon of June 25, Mitsotakis places his homeland, Crete, at the starting point of the race.
