Greek government spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis dismissed Alexis Tsipras's political rebranding as a waste of money, speaking shortly after Tsipras held a press conference on Wednesday.
Marinakis said that everyone who watched Tsipras's press conference reached the same conclusion: that the much-talked-about rebranding amounted to nothing more than wasted money. He added that Tsipras remains steadily the same and unchanged.
Who is Pavlos Marinakis
Marinakis serves as the government spokesperson for Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis's New Democracy administration, a role in which he regularly responds to statements from opposition politicians on behalf of the government.
Who is Alexis Tsipras
Tsipras served as Greece's prime minister from 2015 to 2019 and was for years the leader of the left-wing SYRIZA party. He stepped down from that role after SYRIZA's defeat in the 2023 general election and has since been associated with efforts to relaunch or reshape his political project, an effort that has drawn repeated criticism from government officials.
The source report gave no further detail on what the rebranding specifically involves or on the content of Tsipras's press conference beyond Marinakis's reaction to it.
