As a University student he joined the ranks of the renovative left movement and was member of the Executive Board of the Union of the Civil Engineering Faculty and also served as student representative at the University Senate.

He was elected member of the Central Council of the National Students Union of Greece (EFEE) during the period 1995-1997.

In 1999 he was elected Secretary of the SYNASPISMOS YOUTH, a position he occupied up to the 3rd Congress of the Organization in March 2003.

As Secretary of the SYNASPISMOS Youth he took active part in the process of creation of the Greek Social Forum and attended all the international protests and marches against neoliberal globalization.

In Synaspismos 4th Congress (December 2004) he was elected to the Central Political Committee of the party and consequently to the Political Secretariat, where he was responsible for educational and youth issues.

In the 2006 Municipal Elections he was candidate Mayor of Athens, supported by SYNASPISMOS and the allied forces of SYRIZA. He headed the list "ANOIHTI POLI" (Open City) and had a very successful election campaign, coming third (after the New Democracy and PASOK candidates) gaining 10,5% and 4 members of the Municipal Council.

He was elected to the post of President of SYNASPISMOS during the party's 5th Congress (February 2008).
