Sources from Koumoundourou disconnect the iSyriza process from the pre-conference dialogue and the conference itself, responding to Olga Gerovasilis.

The secretary of the SYRIZA Committee of Ministers and MP of Artas requested the extraordinary convening of the party bodies on the occasion of the questionnaire for members and friends, “before the conference de facto turns into a conference to dissolve the party that Alexis Tsipras brought to the government of the country and which handed over to his successor in the position of official opposition”.

Party sources speak of simple opinion of the base of the party, disconnecting the questions of the questionnaire from the pre-congress dialogue and the Congress itself.

In her announcement, Olga Gerovasili says: “I was very surprised to read on the #iSYRIZA website the initiative of President Stefanos Kasselakis to ask the opinion of the party members on issues related to the structure, name, logo, as well as the political identity of #SYRIZA_Σ

Five days before the congress, identifying issues are selected and asked, in the form of a poll questionnaire, which constitute congressional decisions and statutory positions of our party. Key, critical and important issues are not raised in the public sphere since they have not been raised neither in the positions, nor in the public, nor in the intra-party dialogue of the party members.

I would expect, therefore, from the President, before asking on the electronic platform these identity questions about our party to our members, to tell us exactly what he is proposing, that is, what is his own position on the above.

The minimum I am obliged to do after all this, is to immediately request the extraordinary convening of the leading organs of the party, i.e. the Political Secretariat and the Central Committee, before the convening of the Congress. That is, before this de facto developed into a conference to dissolve the party that Alexis Tsipras brought to govern the country and which he handed over to his successor in the position of official opposition”.
