“We will see if the election of Kasselakis is another farce in political history”, commented Stefanos Tzoumakas, about the victory of Kasselakis and the next day in SYRIZA.

“I have no confidence in the whole situation. It is positive that so many people chose him, but people do not always vote with principles. “Many times the person who drowns by his own hair is caught,” he noted to SKAI and the program “SIMERA”.

“After the departure of Tsipras, a leadership crisis was created in the field and a political crisis, many people took advantage of this. Kasselakis did not come alone, they brought him, he came from America. Kasselakis used to gamble on the stock markets, so will he enter politics, as a gambler? The whole country is laughing at this situation,” said Mr. Tzoumakas.

“Stefanos Kasselakis is the winner, but we will see if he can lead. The ruler’s question is to be accepted. Because 50,000 people voted for him, does that mean anything?”, he added.

“Transitional leader Kasselakis”

Regarding his stay in the party, he said: “Whether I will stay in the party will be determined by the course of politics that this area will have. With this policy, I don’t think SYRIZA can stay united, we have a leadership crisis. For me, this leader is transitory.”

“The SYRIZA government was defeated because it carried out political defeats and some have the delusion that they will justify the political defeats, this is now being attempted by some, as a result of which we have these farces.”
