Sokratis Famellos, the President of SYRIZA, launched a strong critique against the government regarding corruption during a meeting of the party's Political Secretariat. He emphasized the importance of collaboration within the progressive space, stating that solitary paths are not viable solutions to the challenges facing these political entities. This meeting took place in the context of ongoing discussions on potential alliances that could significantly impact the future of the progressive block in Greece.

During the discussions that ensued, there was no outright opposition to the idea of collaborations among progressive forces, although varying views were expressed about the tactical approaches that should be adopted. A significant point of contention arose concerning a proposal to refer Kostas Zachariadis to the Disciplinary Committee for suggesting that Alexis Tsipras could lead a joint candidacy of progressive forces in the upcoming elections. This disagreement highlights the complexities and internal divisions within the progressive bloc as they navigate the political landscape.

Famellos reiterated his position advocating for a collaborative progressive front, asserting that "the common progressive pole must be the goal." He specifically criticized the PASOK-KINAL party for its insistence on pursuing an independent path, which he believes will not yield positive results for the broader progressive agenda. The current situation reflects the ongoing struggle for unity among leftist and progressive parties in Greece, as they seek to collectively challenge the ruling government while also managing their internal dynamics.
