Former Greek Prime Minister Tsipras Returns to Politics with New Progressive Party

Former Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has announced his return to politics by founding a new progressive and modern political party. Tsipras launched the party at a public event where he called for "comprehensive democratic and social reform of the country." During his speech, he sharply criticized the government of current Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. Tsipras previously served as Greece's prime minister from 2015 to 2019 as leader of the left-wing Syriza party, governing during the country's severe debt crisis and negotiations with European creditors. His new political venture marks a significant development in Greek politics as the country continues to navigate economic recovery and political divisions.
