During a parliamentary debate on personal healthcare, Greek Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis responded to Alexis Charitsis, president of the New Left, who warned the government not to underestimate the left’s influence. Georgiadis expressed his belief in the enduring presence of both left and right ideologies, stating his political intent is to combat leftist dominance in Greece. He asserted that current opposition failures empower right-wing politicians to critique the left. Charitsis countered, promising that the New Left remains a significant force against the ruling right government, which he described as weakened by toxicity.
