Nikos Filis unleashed a volley in all directions, aiming his fire at both Stefanos Kasselakis and Alexis Tsipras.

“Stefanos Kasselakis is not a one-month phenomenon. It is the phenomenon of metapolitics, the spectacle and not the essence, something like Beppe Grillo in Italy or even worse I saw the speech, the delivery of the speech of Mr. Kasselakis and it has a Trump style, not a substance, but a style similar to Trump’s, that “I don’t care what others say, we are ‘me and the people’,” he said of Stefanos Kasselakis, speaking to ANT1 and the show “Morning Greece”.

He added that Stefanos Kasselakis “said that he wants to build the democratic faction. Everyone says that. He forgets to talk about the Left and when he does, he does so with force. If we go from a party of a broad Left such as SYRIZA to a democratic faction without limits, this is a bad course for the party.”

“We are in a party that was defeated on Sunday. We never talked about the first two losses. The third defeat is more painful, because we were defeated by people, a large part of whom have nothing to do with SYRIZA. SYRIZA was defeated for the third time, because it loses its history and its power”, he added.

Lavros against Stefanos Kasselakis also said “did 150,000 people go to vote? And; Does this give a winning streak? Papandreou got 1 million votes and then lost. Alexis Tsipras the same, he was voted in by the members and then we lost twice. To break the notion that there is a savior. There is no savior anywhere. It also happened with members of SYRIZA who were close to Tsipras, there was the perception that we were reaching “Messianicism”.

Subsequently, Nikos Filis “shot” Alexis Tsipras, stressing that “the fact that Tsipras did not intervene to refute the lies and slanders about his undermining, worries me”.

“I am a founding member of SYRIZA, I was found by Mr. Kasselakis who came a month ago when he came, I intend to fight at the party Congress. It has to be done in November, as we have said. Dangerous steps were taken: without informing the party organs, we learned from the television that the Secretary of the Communist Party and the Spokesman have changed.”

Regarding Alexis Tsipras, he emphasized that “we are all responsible for the defeat, each to his own extent. Tsipras’s contribution to the downfall of the party was decisive, as well as to its rise, I do not overlook anything. Tsipras chose to dissolve the party’s identity, Tsipras chose to challenge the trust of society.”
