Syriza party

Syriza is a left-wing political party in Greece that emerged in the early 2000s, advocating for social justice, anti-austerity policies, and economic reforms. It gained prominence during Greece’s financial crisis by opposing harsh austerity measures imposed by international creditors. Syriza’s platform emphasizes reducing inequality, protecting public services, and promoting democratic decision-making. In 2015, it led Greece as the ruling party, navigating complex negotiations over bailout conditions. While its policies aim to address economic hardship and social issues, Syriza’s approach has sparked debates about fiscal responsibility and sustainability within Greece and Europe.
