In an interview, Independent MP Petros Pappas criticized SYRIZA’s leadership and called for a transformation of the party to better represent progressive values. He expressed doubts about the party’s relevance to society, citing democratic deviations and suggesting that it failed to broaden its appeal since 2019. Pappas indicated openness to a proposal from PASOK, provided it creates a unified progressive front to challenge the New Democracy party, and emphasized the need for a strong political platform that resonates with citizens.
