“Isn’t it obvious what Mr. Kasselakis said? If he said that whoever is against the unity of the party we will reward him with an honorary place on the state ballot, that would be news,” SYRIZA MP Theodora Tzakri said on Thursday morning to SKAI about what the SYRIZA president said about those who undermine unity.

“Personally, I will never say that those who are opposed to unity are a foreign body of the party, Mr. Kasselakis called all the members of SYRIZA in order to address them with a proposal to take over areas of responsibility and received specific refusals, less than ten, I have to confess”, stressed Ms. Tzakri on the show “TODAY”.

“Ahtsioglou said she had run out of energy. I don’t know the others. However, it is not a disciplinary offence. But we are all judged and evaluated. There is no authority,” he said

Asked to comment on the internal party opposition’s invocation of the statute regarding the ballots, Theodora Tzakri said that “Mr. Kasselakis did not say that he would remove them from the ballots. He described a general principle. The evaluation is done by society as a whole, the members, the institutions”.

Asked, in this context, about the possibility of deletions, she said “I don’t know to tell you, it’s not in his intentions. Send a clear message ‘so far'”

“Mr. Kasselakis is vilified more from the inside”

“The patience that Mr. Kasselakis has shown is immense, he is getting insulted every day, more from the inside. For example, yesterday there was an article by a named executive of the umbrella in the newspaper EFSYN entitled ‘the caricature of SYRIZA’, if I said this about Mitsotakis, wouldn’t you immediately recall me to class?”

“His priority is the vulnerable, but he also addresses industrialists”

Regarding Mr. Kasselakis and what is heard about the way he manages the communication part, she herself clarified: The president is focused on the big stadium, there is this nonsense that he is more concerned with the lifestyle. It is not true, the way he was elected was revolutionary, a man was elected in Greece of the children and the party yearbook, he did the overthrow. He talks about the legacy of Andreas Papandreou, Alexis Tsipras, he talks about a patriotic Left and above all he has an inclusive narrative that includes all Greeks, not just the workers. He wants to set rules in the jungle of the Left. His priority is the vulnerable, but he also addresses industrialists. we are not abandoning the Left, as Mr. Voutsis says. The revitalization of SYRIZA will take place in the great SYRIZA, that is, in the society which is saddened by the decline of the country.

Asked if signatures are being collected with the aim of removing him regarding his CV and where he is from, she clarified that “everything is crystal clear”.
