Former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will unveil the name and full branding of his new political party at an outdoor rally in Thiseio Square on Tuesday evening, revealing that the movement's colors will combine red and blue — a pairing he described as representing "the blue of our homeland and the red of our struggles."

Mr. Tsipras issued the public call to attend in a video broadcast Monday across his digital channels, asking supporters to gather at 8:00 p.m.

"We are building a championship team," he said. "The rest will be revealed at Thiseio Square."

The rally marks Mr. Tsipras's formal return to frontline Greek politics following his departure from SYRIZA, the party he led to power in 2015 before losing to Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in 2019.

He announced his new movement in May and has since promoted a "digital party" structure designed to bypass conventional party bureaucracy.

Tuesday's launch places Mr. Tsipras in direct competition with Maria Karystianou, the Tempe train crash activist who launched her own anti-establishment party in Thessaloniki last week — and whose movement has faced three consecutive organizational controversies, including the unauthorized use of a Greek-American diaspora leader's name.

Both are competing for voters on Greece's fragmented opposition left ahead of the 2027 elections.
