The looming split that is now taking shape in SYRIZA is monopolizing developments within the main opposition party, with executives siding with one camp or the other.

Nikos Karanikas responded to this call, who openly stood against Nikos Fili, Panos Skourletis and Dimitris Vitsa, with his post on social media, claiming that “in recent years the party has been defeated due to the undermining of factional leaders”.

In particular, Mr. Karanikas mentions in his post that “finally, the executives of the factions that, apart from undermining comrade Alexis Tsipras, had and have the sole purpose of reproducing themselves in the leadership to recall the left of the previous century by turning a political party into a party of emotional events” and adds that “SYRIZA PS is a unified party and not a party of a federation of factions and trends, of the owners of the Left, the party Elite and the nomenclature of anachronists”.

“Finally It’s Over!

(in 1′)

The Republic against the barons of the leftist Elite.

We are done with the nomenclature of the Elite and the sacred cows.

The party is freed from the cadres of the faction who trouble and slander Stefanos Kasselakis – Stefanos Kasselakis, who have been bothering and hindering the operation of the party in recent years, and as is understandable, the party is freed from the cadres who insult and belittle the tens of thousands of party members who chose the renewal of the party and democratically elected the president of the party

SYRIZA PS is a unified party and not a party of a federation of factions and trends, of the owners of the Left, the party Elite and the nomenclature of anachronists.

Finally, the executives of the factions that, apart from undermining comrade Alexis Tsipras, had and have as the sole purpose of reproducing themselves in the leadership to recall the left of the previous century, turning a political party into a party of emotional events, were finally put into a sixth party.

In recent years the party has been defeated due to the undermining of the faction’s leaders and this was seen in the last parliamentary elections and of course in the Local Government elections.

Finally,

the president of the party did the obvious as the president of the party and representative of the members and the people who chose SYRIZA PS to change the facts, to oppose the neoliberal policy and to win in the next election the ND Mitsotakis and not to fence off the party within the castle walls – party- fortress of their memories from another era.

SYRIZA PS is a democratic leftist popular party and aims to govern the country to defend the common good and not the emotional impasses of executives who have cut themselves off from society by blaming it for its choices.

We move forward united and united, we move forward strongly to win.”
