The first day of the Greek SYRIZA party congress was marked by heated arguments, protests, and multiple resignations. Delegates voted to continue the extraordinary congress, approving presidential candidacies with a significant majority. However, the session was overshadowed by the departure of key figures including Stefanos Kasselakis and Evangelos Antonaros, who criticized what they termed antidemocratic actions within the party. Other members, such as Alexandros Avlonitis and Rallia Christidou, also chose to resign, indicating a potential fracture within the party as it navigates its internal politics.
