Former SYRIZA spokesman Kostas Zachariadis has resigned from the left-wing party, citing concerns over internal divisions and the potential negative impact of SYRIZA running separately from former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras.

He criticized the party's current trajectory and called for unity among Greece's progressive forces. Tsipras founded ELAS in May, which has created tensions within SYRIZA between supporters of a united left-wing coalition and those advocating for an independent path. Zachariadis previously advocated for a unified electoral ticket, warning that separate lists could lead to hostility and weaken the left.
