Tsironis was born in 1960 in the northwestern city of Arta. He studied economics at the Supreme School of Economics and Business in Athens, and received a postgraduate degree in local government and regional development at the National School of Public Administration.[1][2]

In the 2007 Greek legislative election, Tsironis was elected to the Hellenic Parliament, representing Arta as a member of the Pan-Hellenic Socialist Movement (PASOK). He was re-elected in 2009. Tsironis did not run for re-election in the May 2012 Greek legislative election.[3][4]

While in parliament, Tsironis served as the chairman of the Committee on Production and Trade, and was a member of the Committee on Regions. Tsironis also served in several positions within his party, including as the director of the Secretariat of the PASOK Parliamentary Group and was a member of the PASOK National Reconstruction Council.[2][5]

During his career, Tsironis wrote two books on statistics. He was married to Alexia Kaklamanou and had two children. Tsironis died of cancer on 9 August 2022 at the age of 62. Following his death, PASOK released a statement describing Tsironis as having been "at the vanguard of the struggle for social justice".[6]
