“For four months now we have been in a prolonged crisis in the sense that the crisis arose with the result of the national elections, then we had the exit of Alexis Tsipras and then we had the election of a new president where conflicts developed, which unfortunately continue”, said Kostas Barkas, SYRIZA member of parliament and head of Citizen Protection on Thursday morning in SKAI.

Regarding the poll showing a drop of SYRIZA by 5 points, Mr. Barkas stated that “The poll captured the picture of all these moments that I predicted.”

“Even though SYRIZA has its problems, it remains an official opposition, at least in terms of polls,” he added.

About what message the poll percentage sends he noted that “I don’t think we need the poll to send a message, all I want to say through your show is to stop what is happening now, we all need to understand that society needs SYRIZA ».

“Let’s stop self-destruction, my own exhortation is to move forward unitedly to deal with the world’s problems,” he added

“The majority of those who vote SYRIZA say that there should be no deletions, I say that there should be a pause to resolve all this. I think it can be done,” he added.

“SYRIZA has decided to go to a conference, so we will talk seriously. Then we can do our self-criticism. I don’t want division and I don’t seek it, we can find a common path”.

“I don’t know what Mr. Skourletis and Mr. Filis are saying”

Asked which side he would be on in the event of a split, he clarified that “Kasselakis is president, 150,000 people voted for him, that must be recognized”.

Finally, he emphasized that there is no dark internet in SYRIZA “I am not aware of such a thing, I do not know what Mr. Skourletis and Mr. Filis are saying”.
