Two more MPs Break from SYRIZA; PASOK Becomes Official Main Opposition Party

Two MPs have officially broken away from SYRIZA, with their resignation letters submitted to the Greek Parliament on November 21. This move shifts the status of PASOK to the official opposition, surpassing SYRIZA in the number of MPs. As a result, PASOK leader Nikos Androulakis gains additional privileges, including more speaking time in Parliament and access to the leader of the opposition’s office.
