The ex-minister and former member of parliament is also putting himself out of the party Vangelis Apostolou denouncing the taking over of SYRIZA’s space and slandering the work of the Tsipras government.

Mr. Apostolou underlines that “so far it was SYRIZA, it lived with its memory” and adds that “for me, leaving SYRIZA is the only way. I will be present in the battle for the renewed and radical left, as always.

Statement by Vangelis Apostolos, former Member of Parliament for Evia SYRIZA and former Minister about his next day in SYRIZA:

“Memories are not enough.

After my long and unwavering presence in the area of ​​the renewal and radical Left, no matter how much I worry about the next day, I come to one conclusion: It is impossible, after the events at the Central Committee last weekend, to avoid the only decision that can express:

So far SYRIZA was, live with its memory.

And of course you will never hide your path in the field, to make your departure painless because the SYRIZA you knew no longer exists.

I had some hope that in the period of consecutive defeats, some meaningful dialogue would be opened, about our operation as an opposition and for the evaluation and promotion of our governmental work.

Finally, the takeover of the space was organized, the slander of the work of the Government which was a source of pride for us and in the case of 37 billion not only allowed our country to exit the markets, but also helped in the management of the memorandums.

But the silence, today, contributes to the destruction of SYRIZA.

For me, leaving SYRIZA is the only way. I will be present in the battle for the renewed and radical left, as always.”
