Alexis Tsipras (Athens, 1974) remains confident that the polls will turn in his favor at the last moment and offer a "real show of victory", as happened in 2015. "Syriza is no longer a left party, it represents the interests of the rich," he says.
"Tsipras debuted in 2006 as a candidate for mayor of Athens getting an unexpected 10% and since then his rise within the party was meteoric," he adds. "He is the antithesis of Kyriakos Mitsotakis," he writes.
