Tsipras and Varoufakis: A Return to the Doctrine of Closed Banks?

In an interview with ANT1, Alexis Tsipras referred to the period of 2015 and the referendum, stating that the mistake was not closing the banks immediately after the January elections. This statement caused reactions and brings back memories from the SYRIZA government period and the phrase "My love, I closed the banks."

The former Prime Minister seems to be turning towards the anti-establishment vote, while also criticizing the other opposition parties. According to him, only he can "dethrone" Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

Polls show PASOK leading as the second party, while Alexis Tsipras is preparing to create a new party or a "list" of candidates for parliament. At the same time, discussions are being held for a possible collaboration between Maria Karystianou and Zoe Konstantopoulou.

Executives from SYRIZA and New Left are discussing the creation of a "small coalition", while Giorgos Vasiliadis had proposed the dissolution of SYRIZA and New Left, causing reactions.

Alexis Tsipras is recognized as a leading figure of the Left; however, in order to challenge Kyriakos Mitsotakis, he must stop reminiscing about the past.
