The article portrays the Greek political landscape as akin to poorly acted theater, with the current government perceived as the 'theater director' watching an empty audience while political parties, likened to actors, remain unable to fulfill their roles effectively. During a television interview, the leader of SYRIZA, Sokrates Famellos, was asked what would happen if Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis were to leave; he emphasized the need for cooperation among all progressive entities to establish a progressive government.

However, the article criticizes this notion as unrealistic, noting that SYRIZA has struggled with internal divisions since the departure of Alexis Tsipras, leading to a loss of credibility even among their own supporters. The suggestion that various parties could come together to form a coalition appears increasingly distant as SYRIZA faces mounting trust issues, both from its base and potential allies. Such fragmentation within the party raises significant questions about their ability to unite with others, indicating a broader challenge for the political left in Greece.

The discussion reflects a deeper concern about the future of progressive politics in Greece, especially in light of the current government’s popularity. If SYRIZA and other progressive parties cannot address their internal disconnects and build a viable coalition, they may find it challenging to regain power and influence in the upcoming political landscape, exacerbating the divide between the electorate and political institutions.
