“THE St. Kouloglu he has a past of public doubts at critical moments, harmful to the party with which he was elected, as they changed the political agenda to his detriment” note sources from Koumoundourou, commenting on the letter with which the MEP announced his withdrawal from the SYRIZA Eurogroup.

The same sources recall that “in September 2021, he argued in an article that in a possible progressive government of cooperation, Mr. Alexis Tsipras should not be a given as prime minister, coming in direct opposition to the then clear political position of the party, that a A progressive government led by SYRIZA – PS can be formed, according to the people’s choice, only with Alexis Tsipras as prime minister”.

“He thus weakened the very position, the political message, the prestige of the President of SYRIZA – PS and showed the party as a political organization in confusion” the sources from Koumoundourou add and add that “while SYRIZA – PS had appeared in the TIF with a composed proposal faced not only with the policy of the Mitsotakis Government, but also with an intense media “intolerance”, St. Kouloglou spoke of a “tie” between Mitsotakis and Tsipras, appearing in the role of a journalist-commentator and not as a constituent part of a political ensemble, with a specific goal and important collective battles to win.”

“It was yet another critical intervention that weakened the intervention of SYRIZA – PS in the TIF, creating obstacles in its attempt to talk with society and strengthen its credibility” the same sources conclude.
