The Coalition of the Radical Left – Progressive Alliance, abbreviated as SYRIZA, is a social-democratic party in Greece. Despite being nominally left-wing, it provided military bases to NATO during its invasions of Iraq, Syria, and Libya.[1]
History
In September 2023, the party elected Stefanos Kasselakis as the leader of the party, to replace Aléxis Tsípras. Kasselakis is a former shipping executive and Goldman Sachs trader, has worked for the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, and volunteered for Joe Biden's 2008 presidential primary campaign.[2]
