With the criteria that also applied in the previous presidential elections, Mr. SIRIZAaccording to the text approved as a recommendation from the Political Secretariat to the Central Committee.
The text of the proposal was approved by an expanded majority at the meeting of the Political Secretariat held on the afternoon of this Thursday (19/9).
Consequently, to apply 30 signatures of Central Committee members are required.
The Central Committee will meet on Saturday (21/9).
earlier, Olga Gerovasili denied as “absolutely fabricated and false” the reports that wanted her to insist on the question of where she came from, as a “cutter” of the nominations. Mrs. Gerovasili therefore left the venue of the Political Secretariat meeting, while it was in progress, to brief the journalists.
The extraordinary conference
The dates of the schedule remain the same, as per the previous decision of the Political Secretariat. On October 19th and 20th, the parliamentarians will be elected. the extraordinary Congress that will be held from November 1 to 3. The leader election will take place on November 24 (including the first round) and December 1 (including the second round, if necessary).
The date for submitting nominations and their signatures will be decided by the Central Committee on Saturday. Each KE member may sign for more than one presidential candidate.
It should be noted that there were other proposals under discussion, but they were not put to a vote.
Pavlos Polakis called for acceleration of procedures
Previously, Pavlos Polakis made this public proposal he presented to speed up both the electoral process and the congress in order to avoid, as he put it, an extension of our ongoing “electoral decline” as a result of “unprecedented tensions and public counter-grievances.”
It is recalled that Polakis proposed that the conference be held with the delegates elected in February, while he requested that the presidential elections be held on the first two Sundays of November (3 and 10).
