Political attention turns to Peristeri this Thursday evening (9 July 2026) at 8 p.m., as Alexis Tsipras resumes the series of open-air events under the initiative Now We Speak. The event aims to forge a new space for direct, two-way communication between the former Prime Minister and the public.
A Second Stop in the National Dialogue Tour
This is the second gathering in the initiative’s rollout—following its launch in Nikaia—and will take place at Peristeri’s Town Hall Square. Tsipras will address local residents, but more importantly, he will invite them to actively participate in the discussion—not as passive listeners, but as contributors shaping the conversation.
Focused on Everyday Realities
According to organizers, the initiative seeks to foster open dialogue on pressing issues: daily life challenges, economic concerns, the future of the welfare state, and broader political developments. The emphasis is on citizen engagement—giving people a voice in defining priorities and solutions.
Thursday’s event holds particular significance as it marks an early step in what is intended to become a nationwide effort. Similar gatherings are already planned for other cities in the coming weeks.
Interest centers both on the messages Tsipras is expected to deliver amid current political dynamics—and on how citizens respond. The Now We Speak initiative is widely viewed as part of a broader effort to reconnect with grassroots support and to craft a renewed progressive narrative—one capable of uniting voices from the Left and Centre-Left into a cohesive political force.
