“Obviously it’s not a happy day for me,” said the SYRIZA president, Stefanos Kasselakis at the meeting of the Political Secretariat of his party. In the shadow of the resignations of the nine deputies and 57 members of the central committee, Mr. Kasselakis, argued that “today a cycle of introversion is closing. The introversion came from the refusal to accept the base’s choice to elect me president of the SYRIZA PS. From today we will focus together on the production of political work and the creation of an embankment in the anti-popular and anti-social plans of the Mitsotakis government. We will present proposals and solutions for the major problems of society. To be precise, unemployment, the housing issue, the dissolution of the welfare state, the attack on labor rights and the discrediting of the rule of law”

Afterwards, the president of SYRIZA noted that “the Political Secretariat will meet every 2 weeks. The PG will be a productive, friendly and efficient Organ, which will have dynamics. We had said that one of the issues we would discuss would be the creation of a political center. You are the political center. We need to think of new models and produce policy. To work equally with an open mind and with respect. I don’t consider myself a first violin, we are an orchestra. What we have to do is make the ego subordinate to the we.”

“We must not deny the thousands of voters who rely on us,” said Mr. Kasselakis and concluded by saying that “”We know who our core is. And this is the people. Let’s all work together to convince society that we can provide solutions”
