In a recent interview, Nikos Voutsis, former President of the Greek Parliament and member of the New Left, commented on the political situation within SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance following recent defections. He emphasized that there will be no merging of the New Left into SYRIZA and that all parties, including PASOK, are welcome for discussions. Voutsis stressed the importance of addressing internal issues and the development of a contemporary, radical leftist framework in Greece.
