Alexis Tsipras (Greek: Αλέξης Τσίπρας) (born 28 July 1974) is a Greek left-wing politician, member of the Hellenic Parliament, president of the Synaspismós political party and head of the Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA) parliamentary group.

Early life and career

Tsipras was born July 28, 1974, in Athens.[1] He studied civil engineering at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). After graduating in 2000, he pursued graduate training in land surveying and planning at an inter-departmental programme of NTUA, and he worked as a civil engineer in the construction industry. He undertook several projects and wrote several studies related to the city of Athens.

Political activity

Tsipras joined the Communist Youth of Greece in the late 1980s. In the early 1990s, as a student of Ampelokipoi Branch High School, he was active in the student uprising against the controversial law of then minister Vasilis Kontogiannopoulos. Tsipras rose to prominence as a representative of the student movement when he was featured as a guest at a show hosted by journalist Anna Panagiotarea. During an interview, the journalist implied that Tsipras was being disingenuous in defending middle and high school students' right to absenteeism without parental notification.[citation needed]

As a university student he joined the ranks of the renovative left student movement and was member of the executive board of the Students' union of the Civil Engineering School of NTUA and also served as student representative at the University Senate. From 1995 to 1997, he served as an elected representative on the Central Council of the National Students Union of Greece (EFEE).[6]
