The letter of 87
“The result of the European elections forces us to face the new reality that is emerging in the country and take appropriate initiatives. Despite the huge drop in ND rates, SYRIZA – The Progressive Alliance lost strength and the progressive space as a whole did not grow strongerinstead we had record abstention and the rise of the far right.
The vast social majority, although they disapprove of the Mitsotakis government’s policies, do not see a progressive alternative proposal for governance. This imbalance in the political system is a democratic need to be resolved.
O the cooperation of progressive forces is a majority social request and to this request we are obliged to respond, with forming a great progressive allianceof a front at a parliamentary and social level, which will win the ND in the next national elections, whenever they are held.
The role of SYRIZA – Progressive Alliance must be a leader in these developments. This is why a coordinated debate is necessary within our party, both on the electoral result and on the initiatives to be taken. Party members and friends must make the final decisions.
Simultaneously, divisive tactics, firings and attacks on executivesbecause they express their opinion, they are far from the culture of dialogue of a democratic party.
Likewise, it harms our space to open up suddenly, publicly and with tips, a debate on ethics and transparency in SYRIZA – Progressive Alliance, which has no basis, at a time when we should be strongly opposing the New Democracy government and when such an important parliamentary project is being produced. We should be proud of the fact that our party does not owe a single euro to the banks, has always served transparency in practice and has been independent of financial interests.
At the same time, it is not possible to take such critical decisions for the dynamization of the party’s social communication, with regard to workers, decisions of a historic nature for the Left, such as suspension of the Avgi diary, without even being discussed in any collective body.
All these critical issues, the signatories, deputies and members of SYRIZA – Committee of the Progressive Alliance, we will put it in the meetings of the Political Secretariat and the Central Committee of the party, bodies that remained essentially inactive throughout the previous period. This dictates that the Central Committee meeting must be held immediately and within two days to provide the opportunity to properly position all members of the Central Committee.
