“The rupture was inevitable, many times SYRIZA appeared with a bilingualism losing both its credibility and a large part of the electorate that did not choose it in the recent parliamentary elections”, he assessed speaking to the Thessaloniki radio station Status 107.7 and the show of Dimitris Venieris, the former deputy of the official opposition party and now independent member of parliament Petis Perkas, recognizing at the same time that everyone bears their own share of responsibility.

Asked to comment on the position of the president of SYRIZA that he is setting the bar at 17% for the European elections, he noted: “Now what can I say. Mr. Kasselakis told us that he is the only one who can beat Mr. Mitsotakis. And now he puts the bar at 17%. It made it more realistic because he sees exactly the polls that show a trend… it’s not the polls, it’s only visible in the ballot box, but mostly in the situation. The party has to quickly – I say, I’m in pain, I don’t even intend to turn to the channels to unleash mudras, we’ll look at it the next day, velvet I’d say it should be the divorce, let’s follow the policy that this part wants, we we can’t, at least I can’t, and we will make another policy as we know very well”.

Asked about the next day in SYRIZA, the movements of the people who left, and the possibility of cooperation with Efi Ahtsioglou and her team in the event that – as everything seems to be – she leaves, Peti Perka responds positively, noting:

“We don’t discuss that. We are still together. Everyone just has their time and of course their opinion. Some people say I’ll fight it from the inside. Everyone on their own actually leaves. Look, I hadn’t decided to leave so quickly either. It was only after the Central Committee, from the time Mr. Kasselakis was elected and he started making statements, or with the absolute political vacuum in the pre-election campaign, that I understood that something was wrong.

However, there comes a time when every person says so far and does not provide”.

The now independent member of parliament, responding then to whether the number “10” will be made to form a parliamentary group, Ms. Efi Ahtsioglou, characteristically added:

“We will let time tell. I appreciate that this possibility exists. It is serious parliamentary representation with a parliamentary group, it is not everything, it would help the new venture a lot. We saw it on the way to the Polytechnic, this block, let’s say ours that we left recently, was the most crowded with many people, very anxious about what we will do the next day.

Therefore, the future is open, and for collaborations.”

In the journalistic remark that the conclusion drawn is that it is very likely that he will join the team of Mrs. Ahtsioglou, Peti Perka underlined:

“But what do you say now, I supported Efi Ahtsioglou on the second Sunday. And many of us, alas! These are our companions, with them we marched. That one leaves earlier, another later, does not exist…that is obvious. It is a given that whoever leaves, with this reasoning, because in any other case there is no leakage from the parliamentary group or from the party, obviously we will all be together and we will come to an agreement”.
