Pyrgos is visited by SYRIZA PS presidential candidate Sokratis Famellos, who gave a speech in Patras yesterday.
In the Patras Chamber of Commerce hall, Mr. Famellos stated that “the choice for a modern, serious, reliable, dynamic and effective SYRIZA has a legacy from the past. Firstly, there are the struggles and values of the fighters on the left, who taught us something. That great changes are achieved by the resistance of the people. And then the Left was always at the forefront. We also have the legacy of Alexis Tsipras’ government…”.
“We will prove,” he said, “that the need for SYRIZA can become a political act.” He added that society expects “to be told that there is hope in politics”, arguing that the presence of those present provided the answer.
“We wanted to reach out to members without any exclusion”
Speaking about the internal parties, he repeated that “the proposal presented by me and many comrades was not to go to censorship. For two reasons. We didn’t want stigma on either the party or the person. We wanted to reach out to members without any exclusion.”
“There is now a discussion that there is supposedly an attempt to block him. Exactly the opposite. We ask not to go through this process. Let there be a discussion in the party and let the members judge…” he continued. Mr. Famellos said his personal opinion is “that there was a clear political inadequacy….”
“Will the party, its members, apologize for all these multiple mistakes? Without comrades and comrades… Members cannot apologize because they want a serious and reliable SYRIZA. Those who create problems for SYRIZA’s prestige and credibility must apologize. We want to protect our home, rebuild SYRIZA. We don’t want a party for the IX, nor a party for a one-person company”, he commented. He also stated that the party’s internal debate must end quickly and “go out into society together with producers, together with young people so that we can demand a better future for our country”.
He finally stated that “as always in this fight, the Left will come first” and called for “all of us to be together”, “to put ‘together’ before and above ‘me’”. “And after the elections on November 24th, because there will be no need for a second round, let’s go back to all the organizations. Let’s introduce the Organizations. To strengthen our home to strengthen our homeland. It’s the least we can do for the legacy of the left.”
