In a recent interview, former PASOK spokesman Thanasis Glavinas asserted that while the party is not officially the opposition, it effectively plays that role in Greece. He emphasized PASOK’s commitment to a proactive political strategy addressing key issues like rising costs and healthcare. Glavinas pointed out the ideological differences with the ruling New Democracy party, framing social policy as a core characteristic of PASOK. He acknowledged potential scenarios where PASOK could lose its opposition status if SYRIZA reunites with the Left, but stated he could not comment on such hypotheticals.
