Reference excerpt

Sokratis Famellos (Greek: Σωκράτης Φάμελλος; born 27 March 1966) is a Greek politician and former chemical engineer who served as president of Syriza from 2024 to 2026. He previously served as de jure Leader of the Official Opposition in the Hellenic Parliament from 2023 to 2024.

Early life, education and career Sokratis Famellos was born on 27 March 1966 in Athens, but was raised in Thessaloniki. He earned a diploma from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, and a Master of Science in Environmental Planning and Management from the Hellenic Open University; later working as a chemical engineer.

Political career Famellos was elected to the Hellenic Parliament representing for Thessaloniki B in 2015. He was reelected for the constituency in 2019 and served as the Alternative Minister for the Environment and Energy from November 2016 to July 2019. Following the defeat of Syriza in the June 2023 Greek legislative election and the resignation of Alexis Tsipras as party chairman, on 3 July 2023 Famellos was elected as chairman of the Syriza parliamentary group. Prior to the 2023 Syriza leadership election, there was speculation that Famellos would be a candidate, which he denied. Under the new leader, Stefanos Kasselakis, Famellos retained his position as leader of the parliamentary group. He became the Leader of the Opposition in the Hellenic Parliament, as Kasselakis was not an MP. On 27 August 2024, Famellos was dismissed from the position after refusing to resign. Famellos stood in the 2024 Syriza leadership election and was elected president on 24 November after leading the first round with 49.41% of the votes. He was congratulated by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on his election as president.

Personal life Famellos was married to Popi Karagiannidou until her death in 2018. They had one son together.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Sokratis Famellos

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Sokratis Famellos claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In chemistry, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Sokratis Famellos before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Sokratis Famellos ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Sokratis Famellos

In research: Sokratis Famellos appears in chemistry research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Sokratis Famellos in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Sokratis Famellos is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1966 births, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki alumni, Chemical engineers, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Sokratis Famellos outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
