Former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will be visiting Kozani as part of a series of presentations for his book 'Ithaca'. His trip will begin in Thessaloniki, where he will interact with representatives of various progressive groups on Friday afternoon. Following this, he will travel to Kozani where he is set to hold meetings with local organizations and present his book on Saturday evening, discussing topics including international developments and Greece’s stance regarding current global issues.

The events aim to foster dialogue within the progressive party and get a pulse on the sentiments of local constituents. In Thessaloniki, Tsipras will primarily focus on listening to the concerns and suggestions of the attendees in a collaborative effort to revitalize the progressive movement. His presence is expected to be significant as local leaders and activists gather to share their perspectives in a community-focused assembly.

The presentation of 'Ithaca' is particularly notable given the current geopolitical climate, including ongoing conflicts that may affect Greece’s policies. Tsipras is expected to elaborate on these issues, providing insight into the implications for Greece and its relationship with the international community, all of which are pertinent topics as he seeks to renew interest and support for his party’s vision.
