22 - 26 November 1996: A new programme and statutes were voted. General Secretary Aleka Papariga was officially re-elected. It was noted that driving forces of the socialist revolution would include the working class as the leading force, semi-proletarians, poor peasants and the most oppressed urban layers. On this basis, the aim was the creation of "a democratic anti-monopolist battle front".

It is said that today’s misunderstandings of members of the 19th Congress date back to the 15th Congress. Members and former cadres of the party expressed their disagreement on today’s line of "people power" that Congress participants were asked to adopt. The 15th Congress formed a new strategy and the 16th Congress in 2000 proceeded to a more analytical examination of the party’s agreement policy. These misunderstandings led to the resignation and expulsion of members of the party, such as Mitsos Kostopoulos and Yiannis Theonas.
