In Greece, during a midday speech in Athens on June 29, former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras announced his resignation. This decision to leave the head of Syriza, the first opposition party in Greece, comes a few days after the large electoral defeat of his party in the legislative elections. Syriza, the left-wing party that ruled the country between 2015 and 2019, finished these elections 22 points behind the right-wing New Democracy party, confirming the results obtained a month earlier, during a first ballot.
