Stormy was the new president of SYRIZA, Stefanos Kasselakis, in the full-length interview he gave last night on the “Protagonists” show with Stavros Theodorakis on Alpha.

The official opposition leader talked about everyone and everything, about how he got involved in politics, about his relationship with Pavlos Polakis and Alexis Tsipras, about which group he supports, as well as about his personal life.

“Paul is dynamic”

Regarding his common ground with Pavlos Polakis, “what connects me with Pavlos is a feeling of justice. We feel it very deeply that when someone steals” from the wealth of our children, he noted, also saying that “Paul is dynamic and tries for the world that has no voice. I wish other members of parliament were so grounded in society.”

Referring to the criticism he receives, he said that “to those who think they have found a little American for me, they will soon understand that they have found a Critic”.

On whether he is Bepe Grillo or Donald Trump of Greece, he said: “I am Stefanos of Greece. Tsipras told me that you should take something positive from everyone.”

From the meeting he had with Alexis Tsipras, he emphasized that he did not come out different. “The president helped me to know where to start. He gave me the map, that your office must be staffed with these skills.”

For the text he had written about Kyriakos Mitsotakis

Stefanos Kasselakis spoke about the text he had written in 2015 where he spoke positively about Kyriakos Mitsotakis compared to Adonis Georgiadis and Evangelos Meimarakis.

“Obviously, Mr. Mitsotakis said different things then and has done different things since then. His government has been politically dangerous for the country.”

He also admitted that he considered Yanis Varoufakis dangerous when he was Finance Minister.

“I am Panathinaikos in both football and basketball”

“So let’s get this straight. I am Panathinaikos in both football and basketball. It has nothing to do with Alexis Tsipras. I just really grew up, Panathinaikos”, revealed the new president of SYRIZA.

“I’m not an American, I’m a Critic”

At another point in the interview he clarified that he is not “Goldman Sachs” but “I am a person who worked there. There are many people who work in the banking sector who are progressive and left-wing.” “Those who have said that they have found a little American in me will soon find out that I am a Critic” said Stefanos Kasselakis.

Fan of Aris Velouchiotis

“To tell you the truth, I would say Velouchiotis” said Mr. Kasselakis when asked which historical figure stands out.

“I voted for George Papandreou in 2009”

“In 2009 I voted for George Papandreou. It was the issue of clarity, of reform. It was obviously a very different time when he was Prime Minister, but this reformist progressive mentality was something that expressed me,” Stefanos Kasselakis told Alpha.

“We are family with Tyler”

On his relationship with his partner Tyler, Mr Kasselakis said: “We’re already family with Tyler. You become a family when you have a fellow human being, with whom you align psychologically, value-wise and create your ecosystem. Two people who choose love are family. Love makes a family. Me and Tyler would love to expand our family.”

“We want to have two boys with Tyler, Apollo and Elias”

He also emphasized that he has not been bullied for his relationship with Tyler. “Someone may look with a blind eye but at the end of the day we know who we are. I think that we are already family. Tyler and I want to have two boys. Apollo and Ilias. With a surrogate mother. We would like the personality of each of us to be transferred to the children.”
