In a recent speech in Kozani, former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras expressed strong criticism against incumbent Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, primarily focusing on his position regarding the ongoing war in Iran. Tsipras condemned what he described as Mitsotakis's amoral and servile conduct in foreign affairs, particularly his relationships with national leaders like Donald Trump. Tsipras's remarks came during the presentation of his initiative 'Ithaki', emphasizing the implications of the war for Greece and its foreign policy positions.

Tsipras forcefully denounced the attack on Iran asserting its illegality and criticized the Greek government's foreign policy under Mitsotakis for navigating toward what he labeled geopolitical instability. He acknowledged that while Greece's support for Cyprus and deployment of Patriot missiles to Karapathos was appropriate, he viewed the broader context of Mitsotakis's foreign policy decisions as harmful and reflective of a subservient stance to foreign powers, especially Israel and the United States.

Ultimately, Tsipras underlined the severe repercussions of this war for global geopolitics, suggesting that it opens a chilling new chapter in human history, primarily caused by Western intervention. The implications of his rhetoric extend beyond domestic politics, touching upon Greece's strategic positioning within an increasingly volatile international sphere, raising concerns about the nation's independence and moral standing in global affairs.
