“A majority dynamic has been created, which responds to the strategic decisions we took in the spring of 2022. A dynamic, which is ready to defend our collective decision to transform SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance into a left-wing progressive democratic party, in a faction that embraces citizens from the Left to the progressive Center”, emphasized Nikos Pappas, speaking to Parapolitika FM.

Stating, at another point of his interview, that around the candidacy of Efi Ahtsioglou “a climate of support is emerging from comrades, who have expressed views that say enlargement has been a spineless polygamist” write down: “And the clean talks require Efi Ahtsioglou to say if she considers these views to be correct, if they are views which will form the mix of her own path if she wins the presidency».

Regarding his support for Stefanos Kasselakis, which he announced on Tuesday, he noted that the criteria for his selection were political, pointing out that “the content of our joint statement is a content which speaks for the party of the members. He had already spoken about the need to support our declaration. We reiterated this in our joint statement.

As we reiterated the need for SYRIZA to cover people from the Left to the progressive Center, to cover the world of work and small and medium entrepreneurship. And of course to open our pace for an electoral victory. I don’t hear this from the other candidacy».

The parliamentary representative of SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance also said, in response to a related question, that there was also communication with Efi Ahtsioglou before Tuesday, “in which, however, there seemed to be no possibility for political convergence or discussion. It was a phone call that did not enter the fields of political discussion».

Speaking on Mega and on Nikos Evagelatos’ show and asked to comment on statements by party officials, he emphasized:Tones must drop very quickly, the conversation must be politicized, we must not tell each other that he has no political plan. There are political plans which are different. We shouldn’t hide it. It was our democratic truth. It is a truth that has emerged since last year’s Congress. There were comrades who disagreed with the transformation. They voted against him. Democratically, we have moved forward.” To add: “If the opinion had prevailed at the conference that the president should not be elected from the grassroots, we would not have been able to give the whole world the opportunity to put their stamp on the recovery of SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance».
