He accused him of “manipulative populism”. President of SYRIZA Stefanos Kasselakisthe parliamentary representative of the ND Thanasis Plevris, on the occasion of the presence of Mr. Kasselakis, in the plenary hall, at the time of the speech of the president of the KO of SYRIZA, Sokratis Famellos.

“A week ago he uploaded a video on Tik Tok where he actually described the MPs as clappers and that we are here applauding the government’s bills, but he will initiate a new process where the bills will be consulted with the citizens.” said the ND parliamentary representative and commented: “Mr. Kasselakis today came as an applauser to the plenary session. Someone let him know that the unelected don’t applaud, they just watch. Sit over there. You brought him, he only listened to Mr. Famellos, he spoke to 20 MPs out of the 47 SYRIZA MPs. In other words, the KO of SYRIZA knew that today the new leader will have his first informal appearance and 20 of the 47 deputies came. This is a matter that concerns SYRIZA”.

Mr. Side insisted on the personal attack against the president of SYRIZA, and noted: “Mr. Kasselakis came, acted as an applause and left. He didn’t even hear the conversation. He didn’t show an interest in saying ‘since I came, let’s see how the Parliament works’. Mr. Kasselakis could be a member of the Greek Parliament. Could. You have three state parliamentarians. If one resigns and the others do not take his turn, he enters the national parliament. He does not dare to enter the Greek parliament. Because if he enters, we won’t have the process of the applauder leaving, we will have the process of him coming here and confronting himself and listening to his political arguments.”

At the same time, Thanos Pleuris commented on yesterday’s presence of the president of SYRIZA at the Bullet. “When we talk about serious issues and about the people who are currently being tested in Thessaly, my fellow citizens, because I am also from Larissa on my mother’s side, they are waiting to hear proposals and solutions. They don’t expect to see a boot and a shovel and a photo, in a provocative way! Wasn’t he ashamed to go somewhere where people were in need? In other words, Mr. Kasselakis made two shovels and was photographed and this is the proposal of SYRIZA. It is the most manipulative kind of process populism we have experienced. Insulting the parliament, tik tok and presence with shovels, where there is a problem and no proposal”, said the ND parliamentary representative.
