The debate between the deputies of “Spartans” with the president of the party Mr. Vasilis Stiga. The three members of the party’s parliamentary group, who were deleted by decision of the president, Mr. Stigas, made statements against the president, maintaining the tension that has taken on the character of a “tsunami” and directly threatens the unity of the “Spartans”, if not the has now been irretrievably undermined.

Giannis Kontis:

Greek society has known me for more than 20 years. There is nothing of what Mr. Stigas says. I am a public figure and I do not deserve the title of mafia figure. I don’t allow anyone to call me that. I will certainly not leave it like that, I remind everyone interested that I entered the Parliament with the votes of 200 thousand votes. It is shameful for a party president to say such things.

We asked for the formation of the party’s bodies, as the statute provides. That’s all we asked for, as we had every right to do. We had not raised the issue of a president, we had not raised the issue of a grant. I should note that we did not know that we are entitled to and have received a grant, the money went into the fund, a lot of it, and we did not know it.

Personally, I wanted to go down with the Greeks, justice did not let me and I went down with the “Spartans”. We remain in the party, we are members of the party.

Ioannis Dimitrokalis:

Stigas refused to implement the statute. He then adjourned the open conference. He told us to find them down here and agree on them in an office. We will go out to every District and write members to the “Spartans”, the party belongs to no one…It belongs to the 250,000 voters and to no one person. The rest will be discussed in court.

Charalambos Katsivardas:

Mr. Stigas carried out a quasi-coup d’état. He despises the voters as a quasi-modern dictator. Mr. Stiga with unfriendly characterizations succeeded against elected members of parliament. It has a modern nightmare role. Even if we are independent, we honor the Greek people.
