Giorgos Kyritsis and Triantafyllos Mitafidis announced their resignation from the Central Committee of SYRIZA in a letterwhich specify that they remain in the party as ordinary members and they will continue to appeal to the base of the party and fight for their views.

In their letter they state:

“to the Secretary of the Central Committee of SYRIZA PS, the Secretary of the Central Committee of SYRIZA PS

Dear S. Rania and S. George

Under the responsibility of the president of SYRIZA-P.S. Stefanou Kasselakis our party is headed for political degeneration and dissolution.

With his divisive speech at the KE – a monument of political immorality, authoritarian and anti-democratic behavior – effectively abolished the party’s elected bodies, even the Ethics Committee.

With his intemperate, insulting attacks on founding members of the party, creates a climate of persecution of those who disagree with his unprincipled methods.

Because we are not willing to serve the distortion of the party’s physiognomy and the negative, for the party and the people’s needs, political plan that the leadership group around the president is crafting,

We declare that:

  • We submit our resignation from the KE
  • We are not giving up our right to appeal to the base of the party and fight for our views as ordinary members.

Please inform the members of the Central Committee and the party as well as the President

Kyritsis Giorgos, member of KE, founding member of SYRIZA, journalist

Mitafidis Triantafyllos, member of the Central Committee, founding member of SYRIZA and member of N.E. A’ Thessaloniki SYRIZA – P.S.
