About Elena KOUNTOURA
Elena Kountoura represents Greece in the European Parliament as a member of SYRIZA, the country's main left-wing opposition party that previously governed from 2015 to 2019. She sits with The Left in the European Parliament (GUE/NGL), a political group that advocates for socialist policies, workers' rights, environmental justice, and opposition to austerity measures across the EU. Before entering European politics, Kountoura served as Greece's Minister of Tourism from 2015 to 2018 under the SYRIZA-led government of Alexis Tsipras, where she worked to promote Greek tourism during the country's economic recovery period. Her parliamentary attendance record stands at 69.4%, below the European Parliament average of approximately 82%, and she has participated in 69% of votes, casting ballots in 1,300 of 1,873 possible votes during her current term.
