Went from barely 5% to more than 35% in the six terrible years of the crisis (2009-2015), which allowed them to gain the government, first in an extravagant coalition with a right-wing nationalist formation and then alone. Tsipras's challenge to German EU leadership turned out to be a real catastrophe. After repeatedly refusing to jump through the hoop of austerity, which had vaporized PASOK and reduced the neoliberal right to a minimum, Tsipras was cornered at a summit, only defended. almost out of mercy, by the socialist Hollande. When he tried to shift his responsibility onto the citizens through a referendum on the pact imposed by the EU, his decline was marked. The Greek people, instigated by Tsipras himself, rejected European austerity measures. But his luck was cast.
Minister Varoufakis, even more critical of Europe, left the government. In just a few days, Tsipras assumed that he could not comply with the popular mandate and gave in to the EU, which imposed harsher measures on GreecePhone Number Database Tsipras' challenge to German EU leadership turned out to be a real catastrophe The failure of this fight with Europe gave way to a terrible legislature, very different from what the Syriza leaders had imagined. Despite this, in 2019 the electoral punishment was more moderate than feared: they only lost four points. The decline was not sudden, but gentle but sustained. This year Syriza dropped to 20% in May and two more points in June. The party was bleeding left and right. Tsipras had no choice but to put his position at the disposal of his fellow adventurers. It was the prelude to the end.
Abstention, keys and effects in the elections in Europe The Communist Party, which never collaborated with Syriza and maintained its critical autonomy, has gone through this turbulent period in Greek history, with hardly any electoral changes. In recent years he recovered the votes “borrowed” to Tsipras to their pre-crisis levels. Which reflects the loyalty of its bases, but also its inability to generate greater social support. f) Cyprus Finally, it is important to mention the case of Cyprus, a small Mediterranean island country, where there exists, precisely, the critical left party with the greatest electoral support in all of Europe. AKEL (People's Progressive Party), heir to the old Communist Party, has obtained results above 30% since 1991 and has only dropped below 25% in recent years.
