Greece's political landscape is shifting at remarkable speed. Alexis Tsipras's new party, ELAS, has upended the opposition, destabilised SYRIZA, rattled PASOK, and pushed New Democracy into full campaign mode.

Sa video na 'to, tatalakayin natin ang controversial na nangyari sa Venezuela—mula sa maikling history ng relasyon nito sa United States, hanggang sa usapin ng oil, sanctions, drugs, at geopolitics. Bago natin panoorin ang AI-generated simulation video tungkol sa umano'y pag-capture kay Nicolas Maduro, magbibigay muna ako ng quick TL;DR kung paano nauwi sa ganitong sitwasyon ang Venezuela. Bakit ba naging interesado ang US? Oil lang ba talaga ang dahilan? O may mas malalim pang issue? Pagkatapos ng video, ibabahagi ko rin ang personal thoughts ko bilang isang Catholic Christian. Hindi lang ito tungkol sa international law, kundi kung morally defensible ba ang ginawa ng US gamit ang Just War doctrine (CCC 2309). Pag-uusapan natin: Ang role ng foreign oil companies sa Venezuela Bakit bumagsak ang oil production ng bansa US sanctions, drugs, at power projection China, Russia, Iran, at global politics At ang tanong: Pasok ba ito sa Just War doctrine? Hindi ito simpleng pro-US o anti-US take. Layunin ng video na mag-isip tayo nang mas malalim, lalo na bilang mga Kristiyano.

Developments over the past few months in Greece have seen SYRIZA lose its position as the main opposition in parliament to PASOK in the wake of leadership elections in both parties, the creation of a new political party on the left, and the ouster of a former prime minister from New Democracy. At the same time, the ripple effects of the US election are also being felt in Greek politics - as in the rest of Europe. Nektaria Stamouli, the deputy editor in chief of Kathimerini's English Edition and Politico's Eastern Mediterranean correspondent, joins Thanos Davelis to look at what to expect in this new political landscape.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Assessing Greece's new political landscapeDominoes waiting for a pushGreece to train Ukrainian pilotsCyprus offers to assist with Lebanon ceasefireIsrael-Hezbollah ceasefire begins after year of conflict
While all eyes are on the US elections today, in Greece it seems that there is a permanent state of campaigning. After the PASOK elections a few weeks ago, SYRIZA is now preparing for its own leadership elections this month. In the meantime, internal drama in New Democracy and PASOK's improved poll numbers have caught the media's attention as well. Panos Koliastasis, adjunct lecturer in politics at the Hellenic Open University and author of the book Permanent campaigning in Greece in times of crisis, joins Thanos Davelis to look at these developments and what message they send about Greece's political scene.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Rival factions claim victory in SYRIZA delegate elections ahead of pivotal party congressND and SYRIZA contend with internal strife as PASOK advancesND's strategy against PASOK: Divide and conquerEighty years after thousands of Greek Jews were murdered, Thessaloniki's Holocaust museum is finally set to openPro-EU leader wins Moldova election despite alleged Russian meddlingMitsotakis congratulates Moldovan president on re-election

Endy Zemenides, the Executive Director of the Hellenic American Leadership Council, joins Thanos Davelis to look at why the death of Sinwar is a chance to reopen the door to the brief era of regional cooperation that was being celebrated before October 7th, particularly the 3+1 mechanism between Greece, Cyprus, Israel, and the US.

With the exclusion of former party head Stefanos Kasselakis from its leadership election, it looks like SYRIZA is plunging into fresh turmoil. With the party effectively leaderless and consumed by internal struggles for the coming weeks, many see this as an opportunity for PASOK - which just wrapped up its own leadership elections - to state its case to be considered the main opposition party.

Nikos Androulakis has been re-elected as leader of PASOK, the centre-left party that is hoping to establish itself as the main opposition party in Greece and, ultimately, challenge centre-right New Democracy for power.Given that Androulakis cruised to his victory, was there any point to this leadership contest? Also, where does it leave PASOK as it seeks to take advantage of turmoil at leftist SYRIZA and build some momentum as the social democrats seek to close the gap on Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis?MacroPolis co-founder Yiannis Mouzakis and features editor Georgia Nakou join host Nick Malkoutzis to work out what has happened and what might happen.Useful readingAndroulakis Wins Second Chance to Revive Greece's Centre-Left Party - Balkan Insight Androulakis' last chance - Kathimerini Hosted on Acast.

Sunday's election for PASOK's leadership was a nail-biter up until the early hours of Monday, keeping analysts up well into the night. The race for second place, which saw Athens mayor Haris Doukas narrowly defeat former minister Pavlos Yeroulanos, has set the stage for a runoff against incumbent Nikos Androulakis.

This Sunday is decision day for the leadership race in PASOK, a race that could determine not only the future of PASOK but the way forward for the broader center left. With six candidates vying to take over the party, the drama in PASOK is likely to continue beyond Sunday's election as a runoff is expected between the two leading candidates.

A recent poll is turning heads in Greece as it shows not only what appears to be a total collapse of the main opposition SYRIZA, which fell into single digit numbers, but also a noticeable decline in support for the ruling New Democracy party. Nikos Efstathiou, an Athens based journalist and author, joins Thanos Davelis to break down the key takeaways from this poll as we look at what message it sends about Greek politics, from SYRIZA with its never ending cycles of internal crises, PASOK and its effort to capture the Greek center left, and the ruling New Democracy.

With the US in the midst of an intense diplomatic push to prevent a war between Israel and Hezbollah forces in Lebanon, Turkey has also waded into the mix. While it's still unclear what Turkey is looking to achieve should a conflict erupt, it looks like a policy is taking shape, especially after Ankara followed up on Hezbollah's threats to Cyprus with its own “warning”. Sinan Ciddi joins Thanos Davelis to look into this latest “warning” from Ankara to Cyprus, dig into the Turkey-Hezbollah connections, and look at what role Ankara will likely play in any potential conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

The aftershocks of the European elections are still being felt in Greece, as none of the big three parties reached their stated goals. The country's attention has turned to the center left, particularly PASOK, where several party officials are calling for a leadership change. At the same time, there are growing internal discussions in PASOK and SYRIZA regarding forming a coalition. Political scientist and expert Panos Koliastasis joins Thanos Davelis to look at the crisis brewing in Greece's center left, and break down what it means for Greece's political scene.Panos Koliastasis is an adjunct lecturer in politics at the Hellenic Open University, and the author of the book "Permanent campaigning in Greece in times of crisis: the Samaras, Tsipras and Mitsotakis premierships".You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Election aftershocks dominate the agenda, focus on the center-leftSome 83% of SYRIZA and PASOK voters in favour of left-wing coalition, poll findsPASOK must give voice to the party baseGreek island searches for missing tourists intensify amid hiking deathsUS tourist found dead on Greek island during heatwaveGreece to set up its first sovereign wealth fund, reform posting, bus services

The European Parliament elections held in Greece on June 9 produced a few surprises, some of which could be significant for the country's political scene over the next few months and years.The ruling centre-right party, New Democracy, performed worse than opinion polls had suggested and fell below the bar set by its leader, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. The main opposition parties, leftist SYRIZA and socialist PASOK, had mixed nights but failed to make any major progress, raising questions about what the future holds for the Greek centre-left.The far right appeared to be the major beneficiary of the voting patterns in these elections, but a closer inspection of the numbers tells a more complicated story.MacroPolis co-founder Yiannis Mouzakis and features editor Georgia Nakou step into The Agora to discuss the twists and turns produced by this vote, which was marked by a record low turnout.Useful readingGreece's centre-right wins but with heavy losses - EuractivGreek PM hints at cabinet reshuffle after EU vote disappointment - ReutersWhere did all the far-right votes in the EU, but also in Greece, come from? - Kathimerini Hosted on Acast.

The European elections this past weekend saw far right parties gain ground in a number of countries. Greece was not an exception, with the party Greek Solution more than doubling its support since the last elections. Beyond the far right's gains, the ruling New Democracy did not hit its target, describing the results as a “pyrrhic victory”, while the battle for second place between SYRIZA and PASOK proved inconclusive. Meanwhile, in Cyprus, a 24 year old YouTuber made political waves finishing third.

Sunday's European elections saw not only a strengthened far right emerge, but also saw French President Macron call for snap parliamentary elections in response to the victory for the far-right National Rally led by Marine Le Pen. Center-right and far-right parties are now set to take the largest number of seats in the most populous nations.

With New Democracy set to cement its political dominance in the upcoming European elections, the battle for second place is heating up as SYRIZA and PASOK's leaders turn up the heat to see who will take on the leading role on Greece's center-left after the elections. The fight for second place is also viewed by many as a battle of survival for SYRIZA's Stefanos Kasselakis and PASOK's Nikos Androulakis, as a poor showing in June could raise questions about their leadership. Nick Malkoutzis, the co-founder and editor of Macropolis.gr, a political and economic analysis site that focuses on Greece, joins Thanos Davelis to look at the upcoming elections and the battle for second place that's unfolding.

With European elections on the horizon, Greek political leaders are not only hitting the road to campaign across the country, but are also increasingly leaning into social media platforms in their search for voters. While New Democracy will likely maintain its dominant position in Greek politics, attention is turning to SYRIZA and PASOK, and their battle for second place. International developments are also a factor in these elections, as issues between Greece and Albania have come to the forefront. Nikos Efstathiou, an Athens based journalist and author, joins Thanos Davelis to look at the ongoing social media battle ahead of these elections, what's at stake for Greece's political leaders, and how this election is also taking on an international character.

While SYRIZA is embroiled in an internal crisis that has seen key politicians ditch the party and even contemplate creating a new political grouping in parliament, the latest opinion polls show the center left PASOK overtaking left-wing SYRIZA for second place. Tom Ellis, the editor in chief of Kathimerini's English edition, joins Thanos Davelis to look at whether PASOK can build on this lead in the polls and take advantage of the crisis in SYRIZA to establish itself as Greece's main opposition.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:PASOK is shown second in polls after 11 yearsΑρθρο του Ε.

Following several weeks of tensions, a left-wing faction within SYRIZA, Greece's main opposition, announced on Sunday that it was peeling off, accusing newly elected leader Stefanos Kasselakis of “Trumpian practices” and abandoning the party's core left wing ideology for a sort of “right-wing populism.” Nektaria Stamouli, an Athens based journalist and Politico's Eastern Mediterranean correspondent, joins Thanos Davelis to discuss the current crisis within SYRIZA, look at the likelihood of a new party emerging on Greece's left, and break down what SYRIZA's implosion means for both New Democracy and PASOK, which is looking to overtake SYRIZA as Greece's main opposition.Read Nektaria Stamouli's latest for Politico here: Syriza's bad Sunday: Greece's main opposition cracks upYou can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Mitsotakis-Scholz talks to focus on economy, migration, energy, Mideast crisisGreece starts process to sell 20% stake in National BankUSAID signs partnership with Greece to improve energy security in western Balkans
Ahead of the second round of local elections everyone was expecting New Democracy to cement its political dominance across Greece. Instead, New Democracy candidates suffered surprise defeats in key regions and municipalities, including Athens and Thessaloniki. This has many wondering if we are seeing the first cracks in New Democracy's grip over Greek politics. At the same time, this was a good night for the center left, and the question has been raised as to whether the two parties occupying that ideological space, PASOK and SYRIZA, need to find a way to cooperate. Yannis Palaiologos, a journalist at-large with Kathimerini, joins Thanos Davelis to break down Sunday night's results and look at what they mean for both the ruling New Democracy party and the center left.

Earlier this week Greece celebrated 49 years since the restoration of democracy after seven years of military dictatorship. With the return of democracy, Greece began a new period of stability, one anchored in the West. This was evident a few years later when Greece joined the European Union. Since then, Greece has proven its democratic resilience time and again, especially in the midst of the decade-long financial crisis in the previous decade. Harris Mylonas, an associate professor of political science and international affairs at the George Washington Elliott School of International Affairs and the producer of the groundbreaking documentary about Andreas Papandreou and PASOK, “Searching for Andreas: Political Leadership in Times of Crisis”, joins Thanos Davelis to look at this historic moment and explore its legacy today.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:The Day Democracy Was Restored in Greece After the JuntaWildfire in Greece triggers explosions at an ammunition depot and the relocation of fighter jetsUS Senator Menendez says he has not changed opposition to Turkey F-16 saleUS Senator calls for assurances for Greece, Cyprus in any upgrade of Turkish F-16s
