Tsipras to Unveil New Party Name and Declaration at Acropolis-Adjacent Rally, Targeting 'New Patriotism' and Political Reset

The Unveiling at Thiseio

Alexis Tsipras will officially return to the political forefront this evening, presenting the founding declaration and the name of his new political party. The event is scheduled for 8:00 PM at Jacqueline de Romilly Square on Herakleidon Street in Thiseio, with a direct view of the Acropolis. The party's name will be revealed through a surprise video, featuring a musical score composed specifically for the occasion by Stamatis Kraounakis.

A Call for a 'Great Popular Current'

The former prime minister will call for massive popular support, aiming to create what his team describes as a 'great popular current, from society, for society.' He will invite citizens to participate in a 'new journey' by co-signing the founding declaration online. The event is framed as the culmination of a process that began with the presentation of his book 'Ithaki' in December, where he spoke of the need for a 'New Metapolitefsi' and a political 'Big Bang' to rearrange the current political landscape.

To confront united all the pathologies that undermine our homeland, the dignity of our people, democracy, equality, trust in institutions.

Core Ideology: The 'New Patriotism'

The founding declaration will outline the core values of the new party, centered on a concept of 'new patriotism.' This ideology is described as being inextricably linked to social justice, defending and deepening democracy in all fields of power and society. It aims to place a barrier against the impunity of the oligarchy and the subjugation of the state to it. The declaration will state that society must be placed 'above market profits' and people 'above numbers.' The party's colors, blue and red, are chosen to symbolize the homeland and the struggles of the Left, respectively.

To build together a democratic, just, creative, and modern Greece. And for justice and honesty to cease being persecuted and democracy to cease being restricted.

Sharp Critique of the Government and Opposition

A significant portion of the speech and declaration will paint a bleak picture of the country under the governance of New Democracy. Tsipras will list wiretaps, corruption, the Tempi train disaster, a cover-up, contempt for the rule of law, and the manipulation of institutions and justice. He will also highlight international humiliation related to the OPEKEPE agricultural payments agency and Greece becoming a regular client of European courts. The declaration will also open a front against PASOK, accusing both New Democracy and PASOK of fueling a crisis of trust by rotating the same individuals through ministerial posts and having debts exceeding one billion euros.

The source of the new party's values is the 'We' of the new era: a society that does not compromise with inequalities and does not leave people's lives in the hands of the market and the powerful.

Event Production and Symbolism

The event is designed to be a show of strength, with the first impression being crucial for sending a message of massive popular support. The team from IAT and volunteers have worked on the aesthetic aspect of the impressive event, which will be accompanied by the music of Stamatis Kraounakis. The choice of location, with a view of the Acropolis, and the carefully planned video reveal are intended to create a powerful symbolic launch for the new political venture.
