In the midst of elections in France and the UK, discussions arise about potential center-left alliances in Greece. While the UK’s populism failed, France’s threat of a far-right government led to cooperation between centrist and leftist forces.
However, conflicting views from PASOK and SYRIZA officials reveal personal ambitions hindering true cooperation. Both parties must resolve internal issues before meaningful collaboration can occur.
A cacophony of voices may prevent progress, as some fear losing power in a potential alliance.
The recent European Parliament elections showed neither party is a dominant force, akin to the French experience. Cooperation requires setting aside personal agendas for the greater good.
