Tectonic shifts are happening in the Greek political landscape, with the socialists turning left and apparently ending attempts to collaborate with the centre-right.
In a move interpreted as a sign to put an end to a flirt with the center-right New Democracy, the leader of the Greek socialist “Movement of Change” party Fofi Gennimata removed on Thuesday (12 January) parliamentary speaker Andreas Loverdos from his post.
Loverdos, an influential figure of the socialist party, was said to be closer to the centre-right. Gennimata replaced him with two lawmakers known for their “progressive” (leftist) trends.
Almost at the same time, four prominent members of leftist Syriza party called for a progressive front uniting the leftist and the socialists.

Members of the European parliament will start belated scrutiny of the post-Brexit trade agreement on Monday, after EU and UK negotiators finally struck a deal on Christmas Eve.
The delays in finalising the agreement have left MEPs with no chance to approve the deal before it comes into force on 1 January. The European commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, will start a round of national and party consultations with MEPs.
MEPs from all factions are angry that they will be unable to scrutinise the deal fully in advance, but the chances of them rejecting it are low because the EU’s chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, has kept them fully informed throughout the talks.
