Political Turmoil and Transformation in Greece

This chapter explores the rise of the Syriza party under Alexis Tsipras during Greece's economic crisis, capturing the public's shift towards radical left promises against austerity. It examines the fallout from Greece's referendum on EU bailouts, Tsipras's leadership decisions, and the subsequent evolution of Syriza's direction towards social democracy. The chapter also contrasts the current political climate under Kyriakos Mitsotakis and the challenges faced by both leaders as they navigate the complex landscape ahead of upcoming elections.
