The cycle of fierce confrontation within SYRIZA continues, with circles of most of the party’s executives launching a fierce attack against Stefanos Kasselakis.
“OR silence and not refuting publications in mass circulation newspapers this weekend, according to which Kasselakis wants to demote SYRIZA’s PSwhile rented 1,500m2 officesconfirms the veracity of both the publications and the intentions of the deposed Mr. Kasselakis”, say officials from the SYRIZA PS majority.
In the relevant leak they state that it “confirms that Mr. Kasselakis is in orderly service for the dissolution of SYRIZA-PS and serve the interests that wish to maintain ND in the governance of the country”. “We will monitor the deviations towards the creation of the Kasselakis party and the decline in public support for ND. He has done this before “beyond”…”, they add conclusively.
Kasselakis: I’m a candidate again. Why won’t they let me lose?
In a post on social media, former SYRIZA president Stefanos Kasselakis asks, addressing party members and leaders, why they won’t let him lose, apparently referring to the Central Committee’s decision to exclude him from the leadership election process.
Stefanos Kasselakis’ post
“You will decide whether or not you want to have a vote of no confidence in my presidency and even when you cancel the EC’s decision, I will go to the elections within the calendar for the renaming of the base. Anyone who tells you this can’t be done at the conference is knowingly lying. They do this because they want to disappoint people, don’t participate. But this is not a Democracy, it is a marked deck. Let’s bring Democracy. That’s why I’m running for President again, because I want to leave no stain on democracy within our party in the history of the Left. We cannot let SYRIZA end, with decisions taken in closed rooms, without a real quorum, without a majority. And at the end of the day, even if all of this were legitimate, I ask: why won’t they let me lose? Why? Let us lose if you are not afraid. But you know what’s coming. What is to come will not be persecution of anyone. Here comes the unit at the base. There will be new elected officials across the party. Many young people will have the opportunity to participate. To present your value. You will be able to legislate through your deputies. You will participate in the consultation. This is a modern party. A party worthy of the history of the left and the history of Greece. The first step is the conference. I’m asking you to organize and support me.”
