Greece must stop granting blank checks to Trump, says opposition chief Tsipras – POLITICO

ATHENS — Greece needs to cool its cozy relationship with MAGA, opposition leader and former Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras told POLITICO in an interview.

Mapping out his agenda for a general election expected by next spring, the left-winger Tsipras criticized current conservative Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis for making excessive concessions to the U.S., contrasting him with Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who blocked U.S. forces from using bases there.

While much of Europe is turning its back on MAGA, Greece is doubling down on the relationship with U.S. President Donald Trump. Mitsotakis’ government has granted the U.S. open-ended access to pivotal military bases throughout the country — including its major naval base on Crete — instead of a regular renewal with renegotiation of terms.
