New disturbances were caused in SYRIZA during the Central Organizing Committee of the Congress (COES) meeting, with party president Stefanos Kasselakis declaring in his post that “we are fine with Olga” (s. Gerovasilis).
“Don’t worry. We will collectively modernize our party to respond to society without being prisoners of any interests,” Kasselakis noted, stressing that “we will never be divided.”
What came before
According to journalistic information, during the meeting, SYRIZA officials raised the issue of the date of the party congress, so that it would not coincide with the internal elections of the PASOK party.
Kasselakis, in turn, reportedly repeated that anyone who disagreed could leave. According to the same report, this was followed by the departure of eight SYRIZA executives from the meeting.
