The Kasselakis proposal for a referendum is deeply undemocratic, insulting and divisive, pointed out the Efi Ahtsioglou after the departure of its partners, Dionysis Tebonera and the members of “Umbrella” from the meeting of the Central Committee of SYRIZA, because the bureau did not accept their proposal to precede the debate on the referendum.

He preceded motion of censure of Nasos Iliopoulos at the presidium.

“Today I raised an existential issue regarding the president’s speech on the referendum. An undemocratic and divisive proposal for SYRIZA members. I said let’s discuss it directly before any other discussion. I even said that the meeting in the KE is without content. For its part, the bureau refused to put any voting issue, there was a rejection, while in my opinion the majority wanted to discuss this issue. Today the organ of SYRIZA was brutally trampled. This is not a matter of political disagreement. But existential” noted Efi Ahtsioglou.

“There was no point in us staying at the meeting” he stressed, clarifying that he is not leaving the party.
