“It’s a trick to turn procedural issues into political ones,” emphasized in her statement Olga Gerovasili commenting on the departure of the group of Efi Ahtsioglou, Dionysis Tebonera and the members of “Umbrella” from the SYRIZA Central Committee.

Olga Gerovasili “called her companions to speak calmly and honestly without tricks.”

Specifically, in her statement she said: “Based on the president’s statements yesterday, a referendum on the deletions was put to a vote. My own position is that this is not a procedural issue, it is political and that is the meaning of the Central Committee meeting until tomorrow. The procedural can easily be turned into political, but this is often a trick. I invited my comrades to speak frankly and say what we have to say. My position on the president’s statement yesterday is known, I have formulated my disagreement, I consider it institutionally wrong and we ask that any such thought be withdrawn. However, we can discuss calmly and simply without tricks and honestly with each other.”

When asked about the departure of the executives, he said: “From what I understand, they left the process for procedural reasons. I haven’t heard any political reasons.”
