Intense dissatisfaction and scenarios even for a motion of censure prevail in SYRIZA in the last 24 hours, with Stefanos Kasselakis to be -once again= at the center and to show that he is losing his last allies within the party.

The new “explosion” in Koumoundourou triggered the questionnaire of Stefanos Kasselakis in isyriza, which raised the issue of identity, name and logo of the party. The first reaction came from Olga Gerovasili, to be followed by other prominent members of the party. The climax of the reactions was the email of 17 – out of 24 – members of the Political Secretariat, who requested the immediate convening of the political body.

Her meeting Political Secretariat took place today, Monday, where the -at least- negative climate towards Stefanos Kasselakis, which is beginning to take on a universal character, was confirmed.

According to information, negatively towards the president of SYRIZA were expressed by both Pavlos Polakis, as well as Nikos Pappastwo executives who stood by the new president immediately after his election in the summer.

The members of the Political Secretariat, always according to information, considered the letter sent by Stefanos Kasselakis presumptuous, while in the 6-hour meeting voices were also heard for a motion of censure.

The announcement of the Political Secretariat of SYRIZA after six hours of meeting is indicative of the prevailing climate, as it includes points and messages to Stefanos Kasselakis, who is in London, participating in an event. At the same time, it was announced that a new political secretariat would be held for Tuesday, with the aim of Stefanos Kasselakis also attending, answering the objections.

The announcement of the Political Secretariat of SYRIZA:

For the first time in years, society is coming back to the fore.
The period of immobility that began with the restriction of movement due to the pandemic and lasted until recently is coming to an end.
We welcome and support the great student movement.
We welcome and support the farmers’ movement.
The great student and educational movement shapes political developments and defends values. It defends solidarity, the very value of knowledge, equal opportunities and possibilities to access it regardless of financial ability. It defends the hard work of students and their families against the market and vulgar notion that everything is bought and sold. SYRIZA PS supports with all its strength the struggle of students and teachers for public education and respect for the constitution.
The peasant movement is fighting a battle not only for its own interests, not only for the survival of agricultural production, but to defend the whole of society against precision, the abandonment of large parts of the countryside, the prospect of discrediting a large part of primary production. SYRIZA PS was from the first moment on the side of the agricultural movement with its executives and with documented positions to deal with the immediate and burning problem they are experiencing.
Within this condition of mobilizations, it is proven that the attempt to concentrate the economic activity undertaken by the Mitsotakis government goes hand in hand with the violation of basic rules of the rule of law. The overwhelming resolution of the European Parliament is not just an international democratic proof and shame for the Mitsotakis government. It is also the condition that brings the progressive and democratic forces in front of the enormous responsibility to coordinate their forces and march with a common step on the road to the defense of democracy and society.
Within this social and political environment we are marching towards our extraordinary conference and the European elections.
Along this path, we proceed with respect for the personality of our members and executives, our voted positions, the collective and our statutes. This concerns all of us. From the first to the last.
We give the floor to members in an organized manner.
To evaluate the work of all of us.
To confirm our broad physiognomy and identity.
We are rallying citizens from the left to the progressive center. We do not divide leftists, center-leftists, socialists, social democrats, environmentalists, radicals and progressive citizens of the center. We join forces. We unite the best traditions of the left and progressive movement.
We will resist any attempt by our political opponents to limit our character and broadness, as described in our declaration and unanimously voted positions to the conference.
We fought non-stop for the enlargement, reconstruction and transformation of SYRIZA PS. We have experienced the response of the progressive world to the election of the Central Committee from the grassroots and the election of the President, both in May 2022 and in September 2023. We are working to complete the transformation of the party.
We are a party of members, not a party of executives and certainly not a party of leaders.
So it’s time for the members to have their say.
As a members’ party, we organize the dialogue, with no taboo questions, without excluding members from the ability to evaluate all levels of leadership. From the president to the elected prefectural committees.
We invite members to affirm the foundation of our character by their universal participation.
We upgrade our political operations with regular meetings, political planning and organized outreach.
We utilize all our executives.
We protect our political initiatives from public positions that distract from the big issues.
We roll out our initiatives where society is tested. Our successful regional conferences are a reflection of this very choice.
We launch campaigns for precision and roof by highlighting progressive and evidence-based solutions.
At the same time we are determined to provide a perspective political solution.
Because it is proven every day that without a great progressive change, the anxieties of the struggling student and peasant world, the precision-tested society, will not be answered.
Without political change, society’s anxieties will not be answered.
Dialogue within the progressive space is necessary. It concerns the organized and organized political forces. Not their splits and certainly not the priorities of extra-political centers that imagine developments in absentia or even against SYRIZA. We respond with our initiatives to those who believe otherwise.
The PG calls on the party members from the top to the base to face the coming struggles together.
at the party conference. In this struggle, chimeras and conspiracy theories should not and do not concern anyone in SYRIZA.
A new meeting of the Political Secretariat will be held tomorrow.
We are starting for the necessary democratic change.
