The Coalition of the Radical Left (Greek: Συνασπισμός Ριζοσπαστικής Αριστεράς, Synaspismós Rhizospastikís Aristerás), abbreviated SYRIZA (Greek: ΣΥΡΙΖΑ, punning on σύρριζα, sýrrhiza, meaning "to the roots"), is a coalition of left-wing and far-leftpolitical parties in Greece. Its parliamentary leader is Alexis Tsipras, the president of Synaspismos, the largest party in the coalition. The coalition contains a broad-array of groups, thirteen in total and independent politicians; this includes democratic socialists and green left groups to Maoist, Trotskyist and eurocommunist organisations.
Although SYRIZA was formally launched before the legislative election of 2004, the roots of the process that led to its formation can be traced back to the Space for Dialogue for the Unity and Common Action of the Left (Greek: Χώρος Διαλόγου για την Ενότητα και Κοινή Δράση της Αριστεράς) in 2001. The "Space" was composed of various organizations of the Greek Left that, despite different ideological and historical backgrounds, had shared common political action in several important issues that had arisen in Greece at the end of the 1990s, such as the Kosovo War, privatizations, social rights, etc.
