	The Recomposition of the Greek Far Left
		Not by chance the leadership of Synaspismos was the architect and the most vigorous supporter of the left-right coalition government (government Tzannetakis) in 1989 and against the old “socialist” PASOK leadership.
		In the beginning of the nineties the Synaspismos leadership participated at least in the first phase of the nationalist mobilizations for the exclusively “Greek” Macedonia.
		Synaspismos seems to need such a type of collaboration in order to compete successfully against the CPG with its more left image.

		The parties participating in NELF approved a joint declaration in December 1993 entitled "A new Europe for a new world", which is the basis for their cooperation.
		SYNASPISMOS is particularly interested in the development of close relations with left and other political forces in Cyprus.

	Alekos Alavanos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the dictatorship of 1967-1974, Alavanos took part in the struggle against the Regime of the Colonels and was imprisoned for his political convictions.
		He was constantly elected European MP from 1981 to 2004, first with the Communist Party of Greece and then with Synaspismos.
		Since Nikos Konstantopoulos, his predecessor in Synaspismos' leadership announced his intention not to be candidate for a next term of presidency, Alavanos announced his own will to succeed him in his office.

		In the 1993 Hellenic Parliament election, the failure of Synaspismos to pass the 3% threshold in order to enter the parliament was a near disaster for the party.
		Maria Damanaki, who was then the president of Synaspismos resigned from her position, and Konstantopoulos took over as the party leader.
		In the 2004 Hellenic Parliament election, Synaspismos narrowly escaped from being excluded from the parliament again, acquiring a disappointing 3,2% at a national level, despite it had formed an alliance with other minor parties of the Greek left.

	Greece - Problems of far left recomposition
		Unfortunately, the Synaspismos leadership was the architect and the most vigorous supporter of the right-left coalition government in 1989 (led by Tzannetakis) in opposition to the old "socialist" leadership of PASOK.
		Differences appeared inside Synaspismos, paralyzing it at least initially: one of its currents wished to join the "anti-terrorist" camp, in order to be modern, while the other wished to centre the intervention of the party against the war on formulations referring to "international law" and "international institutions".
		It seems that the majority of Synaspismos is gradually taking its distance from the most right wing and pro-imperialist tendencies inside it, but it missed the first big demonstrations and it initially manipulated the rubric of "Space", leading to a flood of protests from the other components.

	Meaning of the elections
		The other major left-wing reformist party is Synaspismos, which won 3.25 percent of the vote.
		The loss of its right wing cost Synaspismos about 40 percent of its previous electoral influence, but the coalition with the radical left more than made up for this.
		Our candidates proved to be the most advanced wing of the Synaspismos coalition, supporting a policy of fighting resistance, generalized questioning of the system and the demand for socialism.

		Only a little while ago, Synaspismos had the profile of a moderate left, which favoured the EU and centre-left governmental coalitions.
		However, this party has become conscious of the significance of the anti-globalization movement and quickly became active in its initiatives and its construction, which substantially strengthened the anti-neoliberal wing and led to a break with the known cadres of its right wing.
		It is this that would allow us to influence its base in the case (the most probable in our view, if we look at the path of the left turn of the PRC in Italy) of the emergence of a plural left Greek style.

		No sooner was Alekos Alavanos elected chairman of Synaspismos Left Coalition than he began to actualize his longstanding ambition of shifting his party toward the left of the political spectrum.
		On a television program earlier this week, Synaspismos’s newly elected leader and a representative of the Communist Party were discussing the nomination of former PASOK minister Karolos Papoulias as president of the republic.
		Of course, not that much time has elapsed since Alavanos, when former Synaspismos leader Nikos Constantopoulos was still among the favorites for the presidency, was saying that left-wing politicians should not stand for the presidency — a paradox indeed.
