Socratis Famellos, a candidate for leadership in Greece’s SYRIZA party, emphasized the need for unity in response to recent narratives of the party’s decline and defections. He warned that attempts to undermine SYRIZA reflect a broader strategy rather than internal issues, asserting that Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis aims to weaken the opposition. Famellos urged disheartened members to return and called for reforms to enhance democratic processes within the party, ensuring all voices are heard and rejecting factionalism in favor of active citizen participation.
