Alexis Tsipras speaking at a rally in Thessaloniki today

Alexis Tsipras, leader of the SYN party at the Ivanofeio stadium today. I thought I'd practice my newspaper shooting skills today.

Hello Teacher Dude!
Allow me to make a correction.

Alexis Tsipras is the new president of SYN - Coalition of the Left of Movements and Ecology (Sinaspismos tis Aristeras ton Kinimaton & tis Oikologias).

Alekos Alavanos, MP and former party president of SYN is the president of the Parliamentary Group of SYRIZA - Coalition of Radical Left (Sinaspismos Rizospastikis Aristeras).

SYRIZA is not a Party, but a coalition of Left parties, groups and individuals. SYRIZA does not have a "leader", but rather representatives (MPS) in the Greek Parliament. SYN, on the other hand, is one of the (major) political parties that participate in SYRIZA.

Thanks for telling me about this. I thought they'd just changed the name. I've updated the post.
