His website has been operational since today “Alexis Tsipras Institute”, as announced by former prime minister by posting it on social media.

In his message to website visitors https://intsipras.gr/ Mr. Tsipras refers to the goals of his Institute: “We must not and cannot remain apathetic. We must give space to thought, reflection, dialogue that challenges stereotypes and seeks the new.” “Planning, deciding, cultivating, claiming, developing, protecting, building, embracing, uniting,” says the former prime minister, commenting that “these active shares express the disposition and decision to participate actively, in our own way and theirs within us, in the great effort, which is manifested by initiatives in Greece, Europe, the world”.

Mr. Tsipras’ message in detail:

“I was watching now

How many hidden treasures I had to save

How many nests of water to maintain in the flames.

The lyrics of Manolis Anagnostakis summarize the meaning of the creation of this Institute.

A “water nest” in our arid age.

A “nest” of ideas, thought, dialogue, but also initiative and action for the critical issues that constitute the great national and supranational anxiety today: Peace, Justice, Sustainable Development, Equality of peoples and people.

In a world fragmented by wars, the gap between the majority and the elites, the systematic destruction of the environment and finally the onslaught of the extreme Right, our Institute wants to give its own message: We must not and cannot remain apathetic . We must give space to thought, reflection, dialogue that challenges stereotypes and seeks the new.

Which studies reality with the aim of proposing realistic ways and opening ways to change it.

Planning, deciding, nurturing, claiming, developing, protecting, building, embracing, uniting. These active shares express the disposition and the decision to participate actively, in our own way and with our own means, in the great effort, which is manifested by initiatives in Greece, Europe, the world. Which envisages and pursues another concept and another model for development, which must be sustainable and reaped by all, with justice.

An ethical approach to the social and economic problems of our time, the social contradictions, the issues of peace and war, the prevailing practices, which even threaten life on the planet.

We welcome and accommodate the richness of opinions, the energy of dialogue, the driving force of diversity and confrontation. Because we aspire to express in terms of ideas, but also initiative, the logic of optimism, which our time needs. The optimism of the will, which knows and can be combined with the pessimism of the intellect.

Alexis Tsipras”
