Announcement of her candidacy perhaps even today – Dionysis Teboneras made it clear that he will not be a candidate – All eyes are also on how Nikos Pappas and Pavlos Polakis, the “generals” of Kasselaki’s victory last September, will move

THE Olga Gerovasilis expected this late afternoon, according to information, to open its papers in relation to the claim of his presidency SYRIZA and to start another crucial pre-election race.
The party is once again divided and a battle is expected in a particularly polarized climate. In Tae Kwon Do today they will talk, but also find all the executives who they support her: Alekos FlambourarisKostas ZachariadisJohn RagousisThanasis TheocharopoulosKaterina NotopoulouChristos Spirtzis etc. they are ready to enter a very difficult battle.
The ferments and contacts of the two “poles” as they are formed have been many in recent times.
In his camp Stefanou Kasselakis the phones are on fire. The president of SYRIZA was also at the conference yesterday, as he is expected to do today. Theodoras remain loyal to him JakriGifts MorningEvangelos ApostolakisNina KasimatiRally ChristidouVassilis BoneyPeter Pappasand other executives and members of parliament.
The questioning that existed in the face of the current president and the recent “no” of the Political Secretariat to the “white check” he requested accelerated the developments.
Everything shows that the camp opposing Stefanos Kasselakis has a strategy of not dividing forces. That is, they focused on having one central person which will be contrasted with the current leadership.
Dionysus Tembonera, although much had been heard, he did not announce his candidacy for the presidency from the floor of the conference. All eyes are also on how Nikos will move Pappas and Paul Polakis who were the “generals” of the victory of Stefanos Kasselakis in September.
The former Minister of Digital Policy may have been on Thursday night at the famous “secret dinner” of the “10” but from the floor of the conference he did not take a side for or against one side. “We reaffirm our identity, we reaffirm the breadth of our character and we start from our next conference, hopefully with sympathy and mutual understanding for the reversal of an unfavorable political climate,” he said.
Regarding Pavlos Polakis, a statement of his on documento.gr was interpreted as a “nail” to both Mr. Teboneras and Mr. Kasselakis. “I urge some would-be leaders not to see their afternoon shadow and to pass it for their buoy, and to some others to get off the rod they prematurely rode…”, he said characteristically.
As the most likely date for the holding of the elections, mainly from the presidential side, appears March 10th. It is the date that the ballot boxes which had been postponed for the coordination of the Member Organizations, but also for the prefectural committees. “We will make it;” is the question that many officials from the opposition side are asking and this is expected to be one of the issues on which there will be a confrontation.
Possibility of hybrid model of the elections, i.e. to be held electronically does not seem to exist. THE way voting is also expected to be on the table. Will it take place like in September with new members having the right to register until the last minute with the payment of two euros? It is a key issue because it is one thing for the elections to be held with the body of September and another to add new members. Many believe that the right to add new people to the party should be preserved, which is the point.
St. Kasselakis: “The party must become a party of members”
I am “the last person who is stuck to his chair”, “I want to offer the place” from a position that will have the “legitimization of the members and the base”, emphasized the president of SYRIZA-PS, Stefanos Kasselakis, speaking to r/s “Red”.
“The party must become a party of members,” he added.
Asked about his speech yesterday, Mr. Kasselakis stated that he does not intend to refer to “political calculations” and “thoughts”, stressing that the “changes that must be made” are to “match the party with society”.
He also emphasized that SYRIZA has the ability to “unite the entire progressive world, in a great progressive alliance” and invited the people of the party to come to the open conference.
