Opposition parties in Greece have reacted sharply to the recent disavowal of former Prime Minister Antonis Samaras from the New Democracy party. The Syriza party criticized government spokesman, accusing him of transforming internal party issues into national concerns. Meanwhile, the Pasok party suggested that the countdown for the current government has begun, while the Communist Party of Greece noted a deepening of political tensions. Kyriakos Velopoulos claimed to represent a patriotic rather than right-wing agenda, and Alexis Charitsis linked these developments to broader trends in global right-wing politics.
