Theodora Tzakri, a lawmaker from northern Greece, has resigned from the Democrats – Progressive Center party led by Stefanos Kasselakis, citing the party's ideological shift to the right as her reason for departure. In her resignation announcement, Tzakri expressed her inability to align with Kasselakis, stating that the current political environment within the party no longer reflected her values. She referred to Kasselakis' leadership style as authoritarian and suggested that it has deviated towards embracing far-right elements, a claim that aligns with labels used by various media sources discussing her departure.
Following her resignation, there was speculation about her potential move to the Panhellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK). Some political analysts see her resignation as indicative of broader unrest within the Democrats party, with comments from other party members suggesting a significant realignment is occurring under Kasselakis' leadership. Moreover, it has been noted that Kasselakis himself acknowledged the ongoing changes, asserting that the Democrats are transitioning towards a more liberal central political alignment.
