Tsipras from Larissa: 'You say 'step forward'. I say it's time for us together'

Alexis Tsipras presented his new book 'Ithaca' in Larissa, emphasizing his political and economic strategies and criticizing the current government.

In a well-attended event in Larissa, former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras introduced his new book titled 'Ithaca', while outlining his distinct political and economic strategies. He highlighted the concept of a 'socially solidarity economy', advocating for an economic management model that focuses on social welfare rather than solely on profit, which is the norm in traditional capitalism.

Furthermore, Tsipras took aim at the Governor of the Bank of Greece, Yannis Stournaras, calling him a 'negative protagonist' of past policies and criticizing his recent comments made during an interview with the 'Truth Squad', labeling it a 'propaganda machine.' Tsipras's remarks indicate a clear stance against the current economic framework and suggest a significant ideological shift towards a more inclusive economic model.

Additionally, Tsipras's speech was heavily critical of the government led by Kyriakos Mitsotakis, with references to recent tragedies, including the disasters of Daniel and the Tempi train collision. He expressed concern over what he described as the 'mythology of security' promoted by the current government's narratives, which he argues distract from real issues and failures. This event marks not only a literary endeavor but also Tsipras's attempt to re-establish his political presence in a vital election period for Greece.
