The press representative of the party, Dora Avgeri, spoke about the exhaustion of all benevolent dialogue on the part of the president of SYRIZA, Stefanos Kasselakis, with those he excluded from the party.speaking to Mega.

In fact, referring to the short period of time that Mr. Kasselakis has erased since his election to the party, she said that “one dares, following the news and the political events that are produced and reproduced, that Stefanos Kasselakis has been president of SYRIZA for 8 years! Only the original sin has not been charged to him, and this is extremely problematic.”

In particular, Ms. Augeri, when asked if Mr. Kasselakis should, before announcing the deletions, meet with the party officials, stated that “Mr. Kasselakis has exhausted all scope for good-faith dialogue with all those who put themselves outside the partyof Let me remind you that the new president had also met Mr. Fili personally, inside the Parliament. The question is how much more needs to be said, how many insults should be made against the president, but also against the members of the party? Not to mention what has been said about a corrupt party or “choda party”.

To a question about whether Panos Skourletis and Dimitris Vitsas, who served as secretaries of the party, should be deleted, she replied, she pointed out that “I wonder if they were now secretaries of SYRIZA-PS, would they allow something like this to happen. To make public accusations directly against the party, but also against its members”.

With reference to what the specific executives accuse the president of the party of collusion, Ms. Avgeri said that “these are slanders that tarnish the image of SYRIZA as well, but above all they blur the political message to society. We defend our honor and reputation in all ways”

She clarified that “we are not talking about benevolent political criticism, not even malicious political criticism. We are talking about slander and undermining. This must be stopped as it distracts us from our work and mission. Normally I should be here and answer to the ND, and not to those who oppose the official opposition, throwing grist to the mill of Kyriakos Mitsotakis”.

Continuing, the SYRIZA press representative said that “the river is not turned by him, as the president himself has said. This is SYRIZA, it has a new leadership, elected by the base. Maybe some people haven’t digested it. Some people not only personally and politically do not respect the new president, they do not respect the thousands of members who voted for him, nor the party’s constitution which provides for the election of a president from the grassroots! And that is very important.”

Ms. Avgeri did not fail to refer to the reports that state that executives who are against Mr. Kasselakis are preparing a party, saying that “in fact, some are already preparing a party. How to stay in our party? Mr. Vitsas announced a party and gave it a name. What else could be done, that is, for the president of SYRIZA to intervene? It is also a demand of the people who can no longer follow all this».

Regarding the outcome of the motion to delete the members referred to the Ethics Committee and whether they will eventually pass, the spokeswoman insisted on the distinct role of the party organs. As he said, “the president of the party expressed his political displeasure and political condemnation, while the political condemnation has been recorded in everyone’s consciousness, not only by those who voted for Kasselakis, but also by those who did not vote.”

“I hope the next time I’m here I’ll be in opposition to the ND and not try to heal the wounds that some people are opening, whose history I’m certainly not paraphrasing. But the issue is not what you did in the past, but what you are doing now in the present and the future,” he added.

With reference to the recent post of Euclid Tsakalotou on social media, Dora Avgeri pointed out that everyone is responsible for what they say, speaking of “the need to de-dramatize and avoid the characterization of ‘beheadings'”. “Mr. Tsakalotos is talking about ‘beheadings’. Does he therefore know the outcome of the proceedings? Or rather he has ready in his consciousness and mind what the decision of the process should be. But are they causing it?”, he wondered.

In closing, Dora Avgeri sent a clear message that “there is a new leadership in SYRIZA, and it is not under the tutelage of any elite or priesthood”.
