11 MPs who left SYRIZA unveil party name
The new parliamentary group formed by the 11 MPs who recently left the main opposition SYRIZA party announced their name as “New Left” (Nea Aristera) on Monday at an event open to the public in Athens.
As announced last week, the head of the parliamentary group will be Alexis Charitsis, while Nasos Iliopoulos and Euclid Tsakalotos will assume the roles of parliamentary representatives.
Peti Perka will be the secretary of the New Left parliamentary group.
“We are not announcing a new political party, we are starting a new collective venture. We want to do politics differently,” said Charitsis.
