The candidate for the party’s president, during his speech at the extraordinary congress of SYRIZA, stated that “the party is the victim of the attack that has been carried out lately and those who are victims and do politics with intrigue are the ones who cannot do real politics”.
“We decide today that we are returning to politics, to the politics of needs,” he stressed, adding that “we are all committed to restarting SYRIZA from whatever position the base of SYRIZA decides. We were SYRIZA, we are SYRIZA and we will be SYRIZA.” “The new president will not be a position of power, but a position of responsibility and he will also be controlled,” he said.
He claimed that it is no secret that behind the major internal party crisis the party is going through is the questioning of SYRIZA, because “they fear the ruling left, that’s why they have targeted it”. “Recently, the anti-SYRIZA front entered the party as well and arguments were used to satisfy an obsessive person-centered attack on the legacy of SYRIZA,” he added.
He emphasized that “the question of the elections is whether there will be a proposal for a government exit in a progressive direction” To the question: “can we?”, he said that he saw a party of 2-3% who did not believe that it could become a government,” but it happened because he heard and he talked to Greek society, he didn’t live in offices and he didn’t engage in intrigues and he didn’t do lifestyle politics.” “This is the lever to achieve the big turnarounds,” he emphasized.
“I believe in and love this party. It is my family, my identity and my life. Today, when many believe that its fate is dissolution, we must send a message from here that our fate is to return again and provide a governmental solution to society. We must all say together that we believe it and we will all guarantee it together.”
He also mentioned that “the left and SYRIZA can withstand the crises, but we have to make a big turn to go from ‘me’ that hurt us to ‘together’. The power of ‘with you I invite us to remember again’.
Mr. Famellos set his main programmatic positions and attacked the policy of the Mitsotakis government and argued that the conditions for a strong social majority are being formed. He emphasized that “there are three sacred relics that have been challenged in the last period that we must agree to defend: the values of the left, the struggles of its people and the government of Tsipras and the Left. We don’t give these legacies to anyone.”
He invited everyone to “restart to rebuild our home, SYRIZA that we all defended today with collectiveness and prudence”.

**Interview with Political Analyst on SYRIZA’s Future**
**Editor**: Thank you for joining us today. We recently observed a significant speech at SYRIZA’s extraordinary congress, where a candidate for the party presidency highlighted some pressing issues facing the party. What were your key takeaways from the candidate’s remarks?
**Analyst**: Thank you for having me. The candidate’s speech was quite telling about the current state of SYRIZA. He characterized the party as a victim of external attacks and internal strife, suggesting that there’s a concerted effort to undermine it by those who fear a strong leftist presence in Greek politics. This sense of victimization could resonate with supporters, emphasizing their need for solidarity and resilience.
**Editor**: He mentioned returning to “the politics of needs.” What does that actually signify for SYRIZA moving forward?
**Analyst**: “The politics of needs” appears to be a call to focus on addressing the pressing issues affecting everyday citizens, rather than becoming entangled in political intrigue or power struggles. This could mean a commitment to more grassroots engagement and prioritizing policies that resonate with the electorate. The candidate’s insistence on listening to the Greek society rather than staying confined to offices reflects a strategy aimed at rebuilding the party’s image and connection with the public.
**Editor**: There was also a strong emphasis on the responsibilities of leadership rather than seeking power for its own sake. How does this philosophy align with traditional views on political leadership in Greece?
**Analyst**: That’s an interesting point. Traditionally, political leadership has often been associated with power dynamics and personal ambition. However, this shift towards a model centered on responsibility and accountability can be seen as a necessary evolution for SYRIZA, particularly in light of previous controversies. By framing leadership as a service to the party and the people, the candidate is trying to instill a sense of trust and collective responsibility, which could help rejuvenate its base.
**Editor**: The candidate expressed a belief in SYRIZA’s ability to govern again, stating that they overcame previous challenges through direct engagement with society. How realistic is this outlook, given the current political climate in Greece?
**Analyst**: There’s a level of optimism in that perspective, and while it may seem ambitious, history has shown that political landscapes can shift quickly. If SYRIZA can effectively communicate its message and demonstrate tangible solutions to societal issues, it could rally support. However, they face significant competition from other political factions, and rebuilding public trust isn’t an overnight process. The belief in their potential to reposition as a governing party is vital but must be accompanied by actionable strategies and coherent messaging.
**Editor**: what do you think the party needs to focus on to regain its footing and appeal to a broader electorate?
**Analyst**: They need to prioritize addressing key social concerns such as the economy, healthcare, and social justice issues, while also differentiating themselves from other parties. A clear, inclusive platform that resonates with both previous supporters and undecided voters is essential. Moreover, fostering a culture of openness and accountability within the party can help them turn the narrative from one of division to unity. Engaging in transparent dialogue with the public will be crucial for SYRIZA to reclaim its relevance in Greek politics.
**Editor**: Thank you for your insights on this unfolding situation within SYRIZA. It will be interesting to see how their strategies develop in the coming months.
