Greek Left Alliance

Tsipras was Prime Minister of Greece from 2015 to 2019. Following Syriza's loss in the 2019 Greek parliamentary election, Tsipras resigned as prime minister and in October 2025 resigned as member of Parliament.^[9] On 26 May 2026, the Greek Left Alliance was launched, with Tsipras pledging to restore the rule of law and institutional independence amidst widespread mistrust of the government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis. In his speech outlining the new coalition, he said that it aims to address corruption in Greece and various scandals since Mitsotakis took office.^[10]

According to Tsipras, the Greek Left Alliance is built on "great progressive political and national traditions",^[4] and is "a coalition of the three historic movements of progressive politics that are an expression of the modern left: the radical left, social democracy and political ecology."^[11] Greek patriotism is a central element of the party's rhetoric. In September 2025, Tsipras emphasized the need for a "new patriotism".^[12] During the presentation of the founding declaration, Tsipras emphasized that the party's colors represent the blue of the homeland and the red of social demands.^[13] This "new patriotism" is expressed through demands for social justice, a patriotic tax on very high incomes, and a strong foreign policy.^[14][15] On 6 June, Syriza's central committee voted to ally with ELAS,^[16] although the party announced that they would not cooperate with Syriza on 9 July.^[17] On 17 June, Louka Katseli, Syriza's candidate in the 2025 Greek presidential election, called on ELAS to collaborate with PASOK – Movement for Change.^[18]
