“Kasselakis's victory highlights a concerning trend of political immaturity within Syriza. This election has witnessed the elevation of a relatively unknown politician who lacks a clear political agenda or well-defined objectives. Kasselakis's position might be weakened, given that he is not a sitting member of parliament, unlike Achtsioglou. It's a risky move, and Kasselakis's emergence introduces a significant degree of uncertainty into the dynamics of the opposition, especially considering his lack of a parliamentary seat. The recent conflicts between Kasselakis and the other candidate, Effie Achtsioglou, have further exacerbated tensions.”
